There is a secction on this page called Alerta Vial,is a dinamic traffic report,
it's a Flash Macromedia (or something like that) box, that should display only
the scrolling text inside a box (using a mask)  but the wrong thing is you can
see this outside the box. With IExporer tha page works OK. I think the problem
is with the flash macromedia plugin.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://estadis.eluniversal.com.mx/ol_ciudad.html
2. On page's right side you'll fin Alerta Vial Box (working wrong)
3.

Actual Results:  
You can see the text going outside the box.

Expected Results:  
In the correct way,the text should be visible only inside the box.

I think the problem is related with the flash macromedia plugin for mozilla.

There are two fixes:
1. use "position:absolute" instead of relative to make the 'clip' work.
2. "sizeup=sheight" (and sheight is hardcoded to 100), this makes the slider
   start over after only 100px making most of messages never appear, I don't
   that is intentional.  Using "sizeup=ns6div.offsetHeight" instead makes all
   the messages appear.
