forio.com - Renders Different in Different Browsers

ref: http://impactsimulations.basicbusinesssim.com

I am using <object></object> to display a simulation in a web page. The Document size is 1024x721. The <object> width is 1050, the height is 900, which appears to be enough to accommodate the Forio banner at the bottom.

Three numbers are either not displaying, or displaying incompletely (e.g., one digit instead of two; 2 instead of 27) on some browsers but not others.

The numbers are:
1. Regular [ 27 ] + Promo [ 0 ] = ?? (All numbers are interface variables)
2. "Totals" at the bottom of the "Now" column (Value component)
3. "Totals" at the bottom of the "Next Week Total" column (Value component)

IE 8 - OK
FF 8 - OK
Opera 11.6 - Problematic
Safari 4.0.4 - Problematic
Chrome 16.0.912.63 m - Problematic

I am stumped and cannot figure out what to do to have the simulation render the same in all browsers.

Allow Scaling is UNCHECKED.

Embed Fonts is CHECKED.

Hi Bill,

Are your text field components closely cropped to your values in your user interface?
Sometimes scaling and font variations will push some text content beyond the bounds of component so if possible its better to leave a couple digits worth of space for the text to grow.

Also some browsers use the embed tag instead of the object tag with slightly different attribute parameters which may be causing some diferences in scaling so you may want to add it. Here's an example http://www.verticalmoon.com/tutorials/general/flashhtml/flashhtml.htm.
If your more ambitious you might also want to look at swfobject, a javascript api that will do browser checking for you and dynamically embed your swf http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation.

Also did you already try publishing with both scaling and embed checked ?

Best,
Tod
