screen problems

[Drcooper]

I notice that when I go to my website on my computer, it is fine, but on other computers, sometimes the game play area will be smaller than the 640x480 frame; on other computers, the fonts seem different in some of the string objects. On still other computers, sometimes the objects don't behave the way they're supposed to, even flying off the screen.


Does anyone else have issues like this with their swf games running on the same website but on different computers?
Why would these things be happening?

Internet Explorer. I stopped using it after I found a pong game where the paddle breaks apart in IE but works correctly in all other browsers. As for fonts, you can never guarantee that any computer will have any font. Just use more common fonts or embed the font you want to use into the SWF.

That is bad LB - strange though IE on my home computer runs it fine.
I thought maybe it was a vista vs. Xp vs. Win 7 problem.

If it's a problem with IE that's not good since most people seem to use IE.

You can include the font with the game, but the text size varies a bit. Screen resizing may look bad, but most sites\browsers won't do it, so it shouldn't be a problem. And sometimes resizing still looks good, like on android.
