I have just started using the swfObject (Thanks to all of those involved in it's developement by the way:)) I'm using the full page version of the swfObject to display a 1260 x 862 version of a test site. I'm using these dimenesions as from reading up on Adobe tech help notes the recommended size for a 1280 x 1024 res browser is 1260 x 862. All works great except at that setting the top 20 pixels or so are missing from the movie.
I know it is very difficult to get optimum settings right for every browser owing to tool bars etc, but is there any way round this problem many thanks.
To answer your question - no it is not a bitmap just avery simple test movie to check browser sizing out. It was originally used as part of a larger series of SWF's generated to see if the swfObject could be used in querying a browser to load in the appropriate size movie (800,1024,1280) which was successfully accomplished - it was just the large movie that caused problems on my 1280 x 1024 browser, as mention above.
Hi Aran – life's a funny thing you know! As a relative Flash newbie I have been tying myself in knots over the past few weeks trying to get info on the best way to resolve the issue of what size Flash movie to show on what sized browser & really getting nowhere – A post on an unrelated topic & i have hit gold with the “Liquid Flash” Layout! - Just what i was after.
