Cool. As I said, mists of time... It's kind of like the magic 31fps for swf frame rate - just numbers you hang onto even if no longer relevant. It would make sense that a 1x1 px swf should still work. Thinking harder about it, I believe it was a particular build of Netscape which did not allow FSCommand style communication if < 4px.
I did a quick Google check to ensure some sanity of my memory and there are some references, but at different numbers: Moock on Flash 4 embedding quotes an 18px minimum limit: http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/detection/flash4noscript/ Webreference mentions a 1x2 Netscape limit: http://www.webreference.com/js/column85/2.html Anyhow, these are as old as my memory of this topic, so pay no more attention. We can all forget it now.. :) I guess the only minimum dimensions we need to take note of these days is the ExpressInstall dialog of 215x138 Aran -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Getify Solutions, Inc.
