I made a gallery for a website I did and put a looping gallery slideshow at the top of every page. It displays fine on most browsers but sometimes on IE8 it makes the whole gallery smaller and has this large white area on the right and bottom. I have IE8 at work and home and it only does this on my computer at work but I also noticed it doing that one of my clients computers the other day too.
The website is buckrunbuilders.com. Any idea what is causing this or how to fix it? It just looks ugly.

Do the white areas show up on those particular computers (like your work one) consistently or randomly? I can only get white areas to show if I right-click on a gallery and click the Zoom Out or Show All options of the Flash plugin.

It happens consistently on my work computer when the page first comes up. I can then right click and zoom in to change the sizes but everytime a new page opens, the white areas are back again. It must have something to do with how the browser is displaying the flash.

Mitch,
Check your default page settings for Zoom. In Firefox, it is under View Zoom. I can replicate the white space every time I load the page because the Zoom is higher than normal. I don't have IE8 on the computer (school system MIGHT upgrade to IE7 this fall sometime). IE6 only has text resizing, not Zoom. I don't know about IE8. I can try from home later.

I just checked with IE8 and the white border was there until I zoomed out. At 100% it looks correct. At 125% or above, I see the white space to the right and the bottom.

Yep, I guess that was the problem. I had my IE8 browser set at 125% zoom. When I changed it to 100% everything was perfect. Thats strange that the flash wouldn't adjust correctly with the zoom. Anyway, thanks for helping me solve the issue.

on my web sites using flash picture gallery ,I have the same issue but I want my flash gallery to follow the zoom in IE.....
When I Zoom the page,( 125% or 150%) I would want the flash to follow and zoom also because the white space aroud the pictures is really an issue to my clients.
Is there something to do about this?
Thanks

you can add transparency to object background:
<param name=wmode value=transparent/>
<param name=wmode value=transparent/>
