My mistake. I was looking for a question that more directly asked why the swf wasn't showing up at all in Firefox, not how to make the width 100%. While I stand corrected, I think there may need to be a question that addresses the issue as it seems most people see it: "why doesn't my swf show up in Firefox?"... even with that, the answer could point to FAQ #1... I talked to a lot of devs today who had the same problem and had no idea why it was happening. Some were even saying that SWFObject + Firefox 3.5 = flakey and they were exploring other options.
Might just need a little more clarity in the question I think. Thanks for pointing it out to me Kyle. -Jason On Dec 22, 10:15 pm, "Getify Solutions, Inc." <[email protected]> wrote: > Jason- > FAQ #1 is explicitly about this issue.
