Known issues

Wmode: transparent issue in Firefox

The main swf "falls out" of it's containing box if wmode:transparent is not used. This is a problem as some screenreaders cannot cope with wmode:transparent.

Short-cut font resizing issue

As soon as the main swf is activated by the user clicking in it, the focus shifts from the browser to the swf. This means that keyboard shortcuts controlling the font sizes no longer work (ctrl+, ctrl- etc).

Resizing the font sizes through the actual browser controls still works and resizes the flash font accordingly.

Hidding the measurer SWF outside the screen area (firefox)

Originally I wanted to hide the measuring SWF using top:-500px. However I've discovered that doing this blocks the main SWF from resizing the text instantly. Instead it requires a browser refresh to resize the text.

Same happens if measuring SWF is placed after the 100% height main SWF. If scrolled down to display both SWFs it works, but as soon as the measuring SWF is outside the viewing area it doesn't

But changing the CSS to top:0 makes it all work, so I assume the measuring SWF has to be in the viewable screen area at all times for this to work.
