Small space below swf object FF3 and Safari (Win)

[jorrit5477]

Using swfobject.embedSWF for embedding an swf a small space of 3
pixels below the swf appears in FF3 and Safari (tested on IE7, Safari
and FF3 on Windows).

I can also see this space appearing using Firebug in the test case
found at http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_1/test_multiple.html
(there is a space between the <p></p> and the swfobject above it).

To remove this small space I have to wrap the flash content replaced
by the swfobject with a div, and set its height explicitly.

Is there anything I am missing to prevent this small vertical gap in
the first place?

I believe having a wrapper div around the target replacement DIV and setting
explicit sizing and positioning is a good idea anyhow.

I don't think you are missing anything here in terms of whaqt you should
have done to avoid the issue.It is interesting that it appears to happen in
both static and dynamic embed methods.

Aha, didn't I have a look at that... silly me :S
It's not only Safari and Opera though. Might this have to do with the type of plugin (no ActiveX)?
