I make websites for people, often times I have to split the flash file up with the rest of the content but it still all connects through the design. Now in FireFox 3 there's a space below flash files which breaks the design apart.

PLEASE fix this, it is beyond annoying.

Can you give an example of such a site. It's probably related to the HTML or CSS code around the Flash object.

Ok I have the same Problem that Jo Hermans, I'm webmaster and ther is a space at the bottom of the flash animation and the content who follow it.

I test this site with Mozilla 2.0.0.20 And 3.0.5 : 
1- http://www.jmbconseil.eu/ under the animation on top and the left corner. 
=> OK with V2 SPACE with V3

I have a screen to explain this where can I sent it?

Thx Sullivan France.

Until this is fixed, you might want to use this workaround: wrap the
object in a div set with the same height as the object. Something like:

<div id="flashObject" style="height: 348px;">
<object width="990" height="348">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="990" height="348">
</embed>
</object>
</div>

This bug doesn't seem to contain the URL of a Web page showing the problem.  (And the only one of the duplicates that does mentions http://www.livepraylove.com/ which doesn't look anything like the screenshots of it that show the problem.)

This could be a duplicate of bug 22274 but it's hard to tell without a URL.

This bug has to do with flash objects. I've put up a test page that shows the problem:

http://www.gnebu.es/flashbug/flashbug.htm

See in Firefox 3 vs. Firefox 2 or any other browser.

Hi,  This is a dupliate of the problem I was having.  Fortunately for us, we were in the middle of a full redesign, and simply accelerated that process when firefox 3 broke our original design.

To see the old page, visit: http://www.livepraylove.com/old_site/

Thanks for finally looking into this.

Hi,

This issue is still reproducible on the latest Firefox release (45 Build ID 20160303134406) and latest Nightly (48.0a1 Build ID 20160310030242). I've attached test.html as a testcase where the issue can be seen. 
Chrome and Edge seem to handle this right.

Thanks,
Cipri
