[SWFObject] SWFObject Digest, Vol 2, Issue 10

Tue May 2 13:44:46 PDT 2006

i just noticed that your movie is 2880px by 2800px  - is this  
intentional?

this would create a massive flash movie that goes off the screen, so  
when you see that gray thing, that means that it's working - the  
expressinstaller centers the dialog in the middle of the flash  
screen, so if you make your browser window *really* big, you might be  
able to see the bottom corner of it.

try making your flash movie a little smaller and see if you can see it.
