Re: FLASH: Netscape Browser hijinx!

[Al Rosetti]

Ok... one last question for the night.  This one might be a stumper... As

I'm building this photographers site I keep checking it in Internet

Exploder.  Everything looks fine.  I'm running in 1024 x 768 mode... which

is the same size my movie is being optimized for.  Actually my screen size

is 984 width by 582 height.  I chose that size because it was the MAXIMUM

size without scrollbars I could get in Exploder 4.07.   EVERYTHING was going

fine UNTIL I took a peak at it in Netscape 4.  As the movie runs you can see

the bitmaps and vectors shift around just a bit..... then when all the

movement stops everything shifts a pixel or two back again.  The strange

thing is.... this doesn't necessarily happen the first time the movie is

viewed, but deffinitely happens every time therafter.  Ok.... so I'm trying

to figure out what the prob is and so I change my monitor's resolution to

800 X 600.  This screwy effect NEVER happens in 800x600. (at least so far)


My theory...

I have my movie set to run in 100 percent of the browser window and Flash is

trying to size and align the objects to match each other.


My sollution...

HECK.... I'm not even sure if my theory is right.... However....  Is there

an ideal height and width to make FLASH movies?  Is there a setting to force

objects to sit still with no tiny shifts?  Is there something I should be

setting in Aftershock?


An example of what I'm talking about can be seen at

Just click the "Twisted" link and you'll see what I'm saying if you're in

Netscape.  If it doesn't happen the first time just reload.


Thanks a ton,


Al Rosetti
