I have a swf that I want text to wrap around so I’m setting the align property to “left”. This works fine in all the browsers except of course ie. I have a column that has a width of 220px and when I embed a swf that has it’s align property set the column gets stretched to about 280px and it throws off my layout.

Any ideas on how to get around this?
