Hey Vincent Thanks for you great response. Well, I've been working a few hours with it since, and it seems like it's only on my setup on Safari. I'm running version 3.2.1, and I still get the error.
About the minimum size: I'm currently using a test movie, and when the page is finished, I'll have a minimum height on the div. But for now I just removed it to keep it simple. The solution I ended up with was to use mootools to see whether the browser is safari. If it is, I change the height of the main div via javascript before I embed the flash movie - and again when the browser resizes. It's a hack, but it's good for now. It's just really odd that I'm the only one seeing this. I posted in another forum and a guy on a windows computer said that Google Chrome had the same error. But on my win machine, Google Chrome displays it correctly. Well, that's just browser 101 :-) Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards Rune Skjoldborg Madsen Freelance web designer / developer [email protected] www.runemadsen.com (+45) 61 71 34 50 Falkoner Alle 73A, 5th floor 2000, Frederiksberg Denmark Vincent Polite wrote: > Rune, hi.
