I'm working on a site in flash, but he reacts different in the different browsers, the only one who's giving the correct output is IE even firefox messes it al up.
What's your explenation about it?

The browser wars ended years ago. It's better now than it's ever been and should only (slowly) get better.

this is the link, go to the gallery section. The foto's are loaded with xml and it works correct with IE. Clean your cache and view it in an other browser.
I think that the problem is that the different browsers store the downloaded info in the cache in a different way.
From here my problem.

The site works in Firefox1.0, Mozilla1.7.3, Opera7.51/ all windows, although there is probably something wrong with xml load timing - I had problems starting the gallery for the first time in Opera. Reloaded and it worked fine.
- REDWOOD0
No in firefox it doesn't work correct,
the photoholder collaps when the next picture is loading and it should stay on the same dimensions.
If the for pictures has once loaded you'll understand my problem.

maybe something about your xml encodings?
- REDWOOD0
The xml file is well formed.
That's not the problem.
The problem is the different browsers. And i always thought that flash wasbrowserindeppended

firefox 1.0 display it correctly.

Your problem is caused by incosistencies with both flash players. Some possible solutions are:
1. Try preloading all the images first before displaying them. Also make sure you load them all in their own EmptyMovieClip instance.
2. If that does not work, you can put the sizes in the XML and read them. Use these to resize the photos.
3. Make sure you use non-progressive jpegs.

I'm getting the same results across the board in Firefox, Safari and IE (all Mac). It's totally broken in Opera, but I've been having Opera/Flash issues anyway, so I wouldn't worry about this too much.
Once I've cycled through the images once the behaviour is different in that it is, as far as I can tell, what you want.
I don't know the solution, but it's not the browsers fault as far as i can see.

Thnx for the comments,
hey E it isn't good enough by putting the dimensions in the xml because the client isn't a graphic person. Preloading all the images is insane, there are going to be more than 30 foto's on that site so.
Oi and Tuig, are you Deef or Bart?
And when will the tuig site launch, i can't wait to see that site.
Cheers mates.

works good enough here.
ff, osx.
lovely girl btw.
- sparker0
it works fine on my linux box. it's not the browser.
- wyatt0
it definately looks nicer on IE over here, but the way it totally collapses during the load in firefox isnt offensive enough to turn off the 5% of people who use it. i'd stick with it.

use php to return the image sizes...
- alexkxs0
its not the browser war at all M8. You will have to code your image frame resizing a bit differently.
- REDWOOD0
Hey Chimchim,
I would like to do that but the client doesn't wants to pay for a php server.
- E__________0
OK, if you don't want to do that, than you should try preloading a single image first and then do the resizing.
The problem is really caused by not having the right sizes available when the transition starts. That's why when all the images are loaded it works, because then it has the right sizes and can work with them at the moment the transition is started.
