Need some other eyes to help me out with this little issue. I have not been able to figure out what is going on here, but as you can see in the screengrab, there's a thin white line occurring to the left of the little Flash banner. Not only do I not see it in ANY other browsers (IE6, 7, FF2+, Safari 3+, Chrome), I don't actually even see it in IE8 on my computer. I asked the client to check on another computer with IE8 and they experienced the same thing. So now I'm stumped, have wasted about an hour and a half on this, and don't feel good about trying to troubleshoot it anymore without some input here. I don't want to bill my client for excessive work where it's not necessary. I'm hoping one of you can spot the issue quickly and suggest a fix.

http://bit.ly/gMIjLdDISCLAIMER: Yes, I know this site is VERY poorly developed (tables, no CMS, et al.). I did not design or develop this site whatsoever, I just have to help manage it until the client decides to upgrade their site to 2010.

I'd guess the Flash embed code is 1 pixel wider than the object. Try playing with the Object width and the Embed widths.
Alternatively (or additionally) change the background colour for the Flash document and the object/embed tags to match the red of the left hand side.

- That's it. I was overlooking the obvious, of course. Thanks brohan.********

Damn, still didn't fix it. Any other ideas before I try to track down the original FLA file from the woman who build this out originally?

I set the width of the flash Movie to 541 and the line went away. Its is the background of the flash movie white and its getting scaled off or something?
I could only duplicate the issue in IE8 / IE8 Compat mode. Newest FF and Chrome worked fine.
Changing the width did not seem to effect the other browsers.

That did it. What a stupid little fix. It actually causes issues in other browsers, but I don't care at this point.
