Subject: RE: FLASH: Movie BG Color not matching HTML body color

I believe they discovered this bug a few months back here on the list. The
only true way to see the same colors is to set your video card to 32-bit
color. Otherwise, you need to mess around with websafe colors, and I think
after a ton of tests they found 22 colors that wont change no matter what.
I am sure someone on the list has the link to the article. I think they
said in the article that 16-bit color is more unpredictable than 8-bit color
when it comes to dithering on different browsers and Mac or PC. If your
very concerned about the color matching up, you can use one of the 22 safe
colors as both the HTML background color and Flash movie background color to
be sure that you wont see the boundaries of the Flash movie.

I'm using the same color for the background property of my movie as I am in
the body tag of my HTML page but they aren't rendering the same. The
background color of the Flash movie is slightly lighter. Is this a bug or am
I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance!!

p.s. The color I am using is #3864A0. The movie is set at 800x600 so you
will only notice it if your screen resolution is set to 1024x768 or higher.
