I've run into a strange problem that only seems to rear its ugly head on PC Firefox 2. I'm running Windows XP and Flash 10.0.32, and the "JW FLV Media Player 4.6"
The player content is cropped in an ugly way.
Here's a screenshot: http://readymadeprojects.com/dev2/screenshot_jwBug.png

And here's how to duplicate the problem:
1) Using Firefox 2 on PC, go to http://readymadeprojects.com/dev2/
2) click on the leftmost photographic image of the two men sitting at the table.
3) notice how the right half of the video is cropped.
4) scroll horizontally and see how the cropping is affected by the video's position within the window.

What's going on here?! Is it Flash? Or Firefox? Or the JW Player? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Jonathan

No idea...

Do you have playlists enabled? Any other flash components on the page?

No, no playlists, and no other Flash elements on the page. The player is invoked by some slightly arcane javascript using the prototype.js framework and creating the DIV on the fly, but it works just fine in every other browser I've tested it on. I'm stumped.

Looking at it now in IE8, Firefox 3, and Chrome 3, it seems fine.

Maybe just Firefox 2?
