I am putting an swf into a content management system and for some reason firefox keeps on shrinking it by about 50%, while interent explorer leaves it at the correct size. Has anyone else had any problems like this.

the url of the test page is:
Bright Light: Case studies

And the code used to insert the swf is:

that bit looks like a good place to start, Firefox uses the embed tags and the width and height values aren't being rendered properly - if the code is generated by a content management system you have found a bug

looking at that code now the CMS seems to have rewriten it, I am not asking the makers of the CMS to look into it many thanks.
