MSIE 7 having problems with swfobject 2.0 flash

Hi,
I'm not sure which forum this should go in, it appears to be part Javascript, part Flash and part html/css.

Basically I am working on the site www.shfmedia.com/test2/clients.asp
On this page there are two flash movies both embedded using swfobject 2.0.

If you view the website using Safari or Firefox the page displays correctly with the main flash filling the main area if Flash & javascript are enabled if not the alternate content is displayed.
I need to get the website looking and acting the same for IE6, IE7, Safari & Firefox.
In IE6 the Flash embeds and displays correctly however the whole site floats to the left of the screen, while not ideal this will be ok for the present.
In IE7 the Flash movie loads but at approximately half the size it should be.

On a side note, their is some asp code that works with swfobject to cause the the flash to display the correct frame of the flash movie. For example
www.shfmedia.com/test2/clients.asp?client=4
should show the 4th client camjazz, which works fine in IE6 and Safari, IE7 it show the correct frame but has the reduced size problem, in FireFox it does not appear to work.

Thanks for any help you're able to give.

Re: MSIE 7 having problems with swfobject 2.0 flash

Hi Everyone,
Turns out this was a stupid mistake that occurred because I had started with the alternate content. As such I had used min-height to enable the content to take up additional space. I had used the
min-height:
height:auto !important;
height:
technique for ensuring that the div would have a minimum height and expand as necessary in all browsers.
This caused a problem with the flash when the flash replaced the div but inherited it's styles. Setting the style to only have a height appears to have resolved the problem.
