Hello guys
I would appreciate any suggestion for these two things:
if you see this site www.arreglaordenador.com, you will be able to check that the flash presentation is very far away from the footer and there is nothing in between. Would you please give me any suggestion to get the footer closer to the flash object?
The second doubt is: Why the size of this flash object corresponding to the presentation is not the same depending on the browser used? There is a noticeable difference between Microsoft Explorer 6 and Safari or Microsoft Explorer 6 and Firefox. Moreover, there is a slight difference as well on the amount of space between the flash presentation and the footer depending on the browser, but this last difference is not that big.
Thanks in advance

The flash is set to 700px high !

#flashPresentacion2 {estilos.css (line 833)
clear:both;
height:700px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
margin-top:90px;
padding:0;
text-align:center;
width:800px;

Remove the height and your problem should be solved.

Hello LadynRed.
Thanks for your reply. In fact, I just saw it and I thought, yeah, that makes sense. But after commenting the line of 700px I have come to the look that made me put that 700px measure. Why? Because now that the line with the 700px measure is commented, if I browse the site with firefox 3, I can see that the presentation is extremely small in comparison to the same flash presentation in Ie6 or safari. Actually all the sizes are different for the flash presentation depending on the browser:
size in ie6>size in safari > size in firefox. You can check this now because I left it as you told me so you can check what I mean.
Do you have any suggestion?

I have to thank you for your suggestion because what it at least has done is joining the footer with the flash object no matter the browser used which is something that I was pursuing.

Look forward to seeing your reply.
Thanks again.

In the end, I found the solution to this thread.
I just had to remove the embed tag from the flash objects. Moreover, I had to replace the line
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="70%" height="70%" id="movie" align="middle">
with the line
<object data='movie.swf' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='700' height='376'>
Now it seems that the size of the flash object is the same no matther the browser used.
Thanks for you help and hope that this might be useful for other people.

Now, I have another problem. To make my site passed the xhtml validator, I also removed the embed tag from the flash object which contains the arreglaordenador.com word on the top left part of the header. However I just realized that now that I did that, only ie6 shows this flash object accurately because safari and firefox 3 do not even show this flash object. I do not know why both of these browsers do not show this flash object because at the same time they do show the big gray and black flash object from the presentation page.

Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I highly recommend swfObject -easy to implement.

Thank you for the swfObject because it seems pretty good looking. Nonetheless, I will say that I already solved the problem. It is weird because the thing I had to do was putting the swf file in the same folder as the php file which was using the swf file instead of using a long path. Before this, the swf and php files were in different files and I was specifying the path, and I do not know why ie6 was interpreting accurately that path but not Safari or Firefox.
The only little problem I have now is that there is a small horizontal blank space on top of the banner which I have on the home and about pages of this site. And this blank space should not appear. Actually, it does not appear in either ie6 or firefox. In conclusion, any suggestion to remove that horizontal blank space on top of the banner displayed in safari would be appreciated.
Thanks
