This should be simple and yet I cant find an answer.

I have a SWF embedded in an HTML page. the SWF is the navigation for the HTML page. When I resize the HTML browser the SWF disappears. Im on a mac using MX.

Ive tried putting my HTML table into pixels and percents, neither attempt helps. My SWF is set to 766 pixels wide. SCALE value is set to default. SWF is centered in table cell. I tried SALIGN=LT which didnt help. I tried various scale methods, none worked.

What else could it possible be? Code is below

Thanks

There have been a couple of others reporting this problem - it appears to be a bug in some versions of MSIE/Mac.
