Chris. You need to size your swf on the HTML page somehow.
Even if you make your swf a certain size out of the Flash IDE / haXe etc, you can override that size in the HTML page (you could shrink or expand a swf and depending on the scaling you set, this could mean more BG space, or scaling, or cropping of your swf). The w/h can either be a fixed number of a % of a container <div> to fill. Take note of the extra CSS code you need for a % based sizing though (FAQ#1): http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/faq This is what your code should look like: <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="haxe" width="50" height="50"> <param name="movie" value="test.swf"/> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /> <!--[if !IE]>--> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="test.swf" width="50" height="50"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /> <!--<![endif]--> <p>Alternative content</p> <!--[if !IE]>--> </object> <!--<![endif]--> </object> I truly recommend you use the code generator, as the code in your new example was very malformed. Have a look at what is in your example vs. the above (look at the order of object / conditional statements etc). Some other notes: If you are not messing around with changing the original published size, you don't need the scale or salign params you had. Also quality of high is default, so you can remove that too. You only need allowScriptAccess if you are performing outbound scripting (getURL() etc) *** make sure you add your params to both the IE and !IE block Aran -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Sent: Thursday, 18 December 2008 2:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Installation Gah, I should have caught that. Thanks for your patience, Aran. (I normally do well at writing my own code; I don't think I was paying full attention yesterday.) I've updated my code; this time I specified that the movie should display as 50x50px in the SWF (via the haXe makefile) and removed the dimensions in the HTML. Now the movie doesn't display at all, although it did fine before I removed the HTML dimensions. Why are my dimensions not honored? (In case you're wondering, this is just a learning experience prompted by instructions in the haXe documentation which didn't work.) Thanks!
