I haven't tried yet, but would the flash satay method fix that border issue?
good read:
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/ufo/
Another good reason for me to continue using firefox and to continue pissing on Microsoft from a great height...I mean really if anyone has a good, sound, logical argument for changing the way Internet Explorer works please do let me know.
Macromedia has instructions along with an update to Flash to work around this problem:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=7c29e252
is not woking anymore...
any idea?
thanks.
I can't believe we face such a problem. Sometimes MS people make me wonder why I do defend so often. Didn't nobody notice at MS IE Dev Team that Flash is reality? An standart?
Can't believe it.
Thank you for your delightful insight.
The border around flash objects in IE is due to a lawsuit filed against Microsoft, preventing them for automatic registering objects. Actually, i think, filed by FireFox.
MS dont like this, they just have to. If people don't handicap MS IE, other browser can't keep up.
I worte :
<script>
function writeSWF(FO){
var cnt = "<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width=""+FO.width+"" height=""+FO.height+"" id=""+FO.id+"" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"><param name="movie" value=""+FO.src+""><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src=""+FO.src+"" wmode="transparent" quality="high" width=""+FO.width+"" height=""+FO.height+"" name=""+FO.id+"" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"/></object>";
document.write(cnt);
}
</script>
