My movie appears fine in Firefox...but is tiny in IE?

1

Hi,

I’m using a simple php script to overlay videos onto sites and while it works ok in Firefox (although some sites like google.com trip it up…no idea why!), in IE, the flash appears at half the size.

http://scusiciao.com/testing/a/get.php

Take the first choice ‘Abbey’, for example, this is the contents of the referenced abbey.inc file that is pulling down that clip:


<div id="talkinghead">
 <object classid="clsid[IMG]http://board.flashkit.com/board/images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/IMG]27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"
 width="300 height="410">
 <param name="movie" value="http://scusiciao.com/testing/a/abbey.swf" />
 <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
 <embed src="http://scusiciao.com/testing/a/abbey.swf" width="300" height="410" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
 </embed>
 </object>
 </div>

So both the object and embed tags both display the correct width and height but she is appearing a lot smaller.

Would anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Jonny.

//note - a friend put the php together for me I’ve seen the script references a defs.php file containing the following:

<?php
 //definitions
 
 $startstyle = "<style type=\"text/css\">
<!--
";
 $endstyle = <<<EOT
 -->
 </style>
 <!--[if lte IE 6]>
 <style type="text/css">
 html, body {
   height: 100%;
   overflow: auto;
 }
 #talkinghead {
   position: absolute;
 }
 </style>
 <![endif]-->
  <!-- no cache headers -->
  <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
  <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
  <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
  <!-- end no cache headers -->
 EOT;
 
 //end definitions
 ?>

not sure if this is relevant but it’s the only other file referencing IE in any way!
