This is similar to your problem.

I’m using a logo banner that is 100% wide and 20% high. The problem is that in Firefox, the banner is OK but there is an extra 20% white space on both sides of the Flash movie. It is fine in IE. It works OK in FF with HTML 3.2, so it must have something to do with new specs in DOCTYPE HTML 4.01.

Nothing seems to work except downgrading the page to 3.2.

Cool, thanks! I\’ve looked through your code. So the trick is to set: html height 100%, body height 100% and div height 100%. It doesn\’t work without any single one. Hope this trick won\’t be affected if new standards come out. HTML is indeed tricky. I\’ll stick with my Flash.

There\’s been a full screen example using CSS (with a DOCTYPE) included with SWFObject for a couple of years now…
