What's the problem in version 0.4?

Download the main FLA

As Tom points out there should be a default text-size if the localConnection isn't working.

This made me think. The important bit is not to make the main swf 100% wide, but to make the text resizable, so really the value sent using localConnection shoudl be to make the main.swf 100% wide if needed at all. And the actual stage width of main swf should dictate the font size.

That way the font-size will always be present whether the main swf is suppose to be 100% wide or not.

So I returned to my original version. However this poses an old problem: To make it work in Firefox I need to used wmode:transparent, and Niqui has pointed out that some screenreaders have problems with wmode:transparent.

Testing

I have tried implementing the swf with the following 3 methods to solve the problem:

None of them work without wmode:transparent. All of them work with wmode:transparent.

I have tried adding position absolute and z-index to the css, but no change either.

I am stuck and could use some help!
