Flash not scaling inside a table cell in FireFox and not not showing up at all in IE. Works outside table!

Greetings;

I have authored a Flash movie and it is working fine. When I use the html page output by Flash it scales fine but when I cut and paste this code into a table cell the movie will not scale (in Firefox) and not showup at all in IE 7.

Help appreciated. Here is the html page output by Flash:

http://www.howardbakerphotography.com/gallery/bakerGallery.html (Scaling fine)

Here is the content placed inside a simple table cell:

http://www.howardbakerphotography.com/gallery/index3.php (Only shows up small not scaling)

Help appreciated.

what are the size limits on the table/cell you are putting it in? can you post the php code for index3.php?

you have "<td width="20">" in the HTML, that might be limiting it. I didn't see anything when I viewed the second link in IE7.

Hi and thanks for trying to help! If you will look a bit closer you will see that the "<td width="20">" is in the table cell just BEFORE the cell with the Flash content. It's cell is set to "<td align="center">" with no size. BTW, I did point out in my original post this is not showing up at all in IE ...

Thoughts appreciated!

It was late when I responded to your initial post, I did mean to say that I didn't have FF installed on that machine but was confirming that it didn't show up in IE...lol

rather than put the SWF in a table to center it, put it in a <div align="center"> tag. I think that the table is what is causing your issue.

was replying when you made your post, glad to see you got it sorted... I would have not even looked at the header.

Ugh, I need more coffee :)
