Is there any way to get rid of the space that appears around an embedded swf when you put the \<object\> tag around it. I’ve used a style sheet to specify that the object have 0px for both padding and margins but it still creates all this white space around my swf. The only way I can get rid of it is to get rid of the \<object\> tag, but it’s sort of necessary, isn’t it?

Did you check the padding/margins of the elements around the object tag? Like if you have a paragraph before and after the object, make sure those aren’t causing the extra white space.

Otherwise… come code to look at would be helpful.
