If a full path, or a remote media path, is used then SWF Tools cannot detect the swf dimensions. If the user does not explicitly define the size then the content will not appear under Firefox. IE interprets things differently and will pick up the size itself.

To be consistent it would be helpful if SWF Tools flagged an error if no height and width are assigned when using a full or remote media path (or maybe in all cases where no size is defined?) to help users understand why their content might not be appearing.

I think I have this problem. For once, IE6 and IE7 work, but, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome have a problem, like an overflow or z-index is wrong. Maybe it's my theme causing it, which is Artisteer-generated.

Here's a page illustrating the problem: http://insite.worldwideclarity.com/page/test-video-slideshow

Can you tell us which 'size' you're talking about and where I can set it? I'm using Flowplayer 3; is the size setting in there? If so, I have values there (I think defaults) of Height:375 Width:500.
