hey guys. Today I tried deploying for the first time a swf movie into a new wordpress blog I am customizing.
It looks great in Firefox, but for some reason, the object seems to shrink in Internet Explorer, and there is a strange white border around it.
Since I have never placed a flash object in any of my pages before, I might not know what I did wrong, or if this is a common hacking problem.

It is the picture menu in the top middle… If you can check it in firefox and IE, you’ll notice the dramatic difference. Also, I noticed in IE it doesn’t allow rollOver functions until you click on the object.
Let me know if I should post any relevant code. The size of the swf is 500w-200h… And i double checked the height/width i put in the html page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
