Code Problems between IE and FF

Flash width problems

[discoverypro]

I have a question about this code--

I am trying to make this flash work in both IE and FF. I have can make it work if I write it certain ways.

I need help in getting this to work for both.

<!-- #2a Top Navigation Bar-->

<!-- and this code works for IE but not FF-->

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="808" height="41" id="Flash1">
<param name="movie" value="Topflash.swf">
<param name="quality" value="High">
<param name="scale" value="ExactFit">
<param name="wmode" value="Window">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="false">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="sAlign" value="L">
<embed src="Topflash.swf" width="808" height="41" quality="High" wmode="Window" loop="false" play="true" menu="false" scale="ExactFit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
</object>

</div>


<!-- and Yet this code works for FF but not IE?-->

<!-- it seems off by 100 px exactly-->

Nevermind--I figured it out...

I had to change my width settings to 100% instead of 708 or 808. Now it works in both IE and FF.

GEZZ--was getting stupified for a minute...

Welcome aboard discoverypro, but you are probably still getting the gray line around your Flash in IE, aren't you?

Look into SWFObject, an open source library for managing Flash in pages. It gets rid of the gray line, makes for cleaner code that degrades nicely, and gets rid of the deprecated embed element. I think you'll like it.

Actually I think they look pretty clean. I have two flashes on each page.

I am a Professional home Inspector by trade --not a web designer--but I kinda of like what i have put together. With the help of a good friend of mine i started to play around with flash and adding code in here and there.

-- thanks for the nice welcome here....
