IMAGE STRETCHING???

[Ken McAllister]

Greetings all! There is probably a simple fix to this, but I haven't
discovered it yet. Can anyone out there in Directorland help?

I'm using D8 and when I publish my movie using the "Progress Bar with
Image" HTML template, the poster image I specify in the settings gets
stretched when it appears in a browser.

If I look at the image created by D8 during the publish process in
photoshop, it looks just fine and is the same size--800x600--as my
movie. In the HTML source (index.html) that is generated during the
publish process, the image looks to be correct there as well.

It's only when the html page calling the loader/progress bar movie is
actually running in a browser that the image gets stretched. My movie,
for the record, looks fine once it's loaded (i.e. no stretching).

Thanks VERY much in advance for your help!

The actual jpg that the loader movie is calling is here:

Sorry I didn't include this the first time.

I believe you have to modify this line of your HTML code
to let us see anything:

<param name="SRC" value="file://D:\Ken\mesmer_movie_storage\mesmer_movie\published \progbar_w_bkgnd_image.dcr">

Stupid frontpage. I looked at my default.htm in that app for five seconds just to check a param and it added all
that gunk, including that path.

Anyway, I've uploaded the exact D8-generated html and I still have the same problem. The code looks okay to me,
but obviously I'm missing something.

Thanks for pointing out the path weirdness; see anything else wrong?

Hmmm,

I don't see any stretching. What I can see is actually
some croping. I send you a screenshot on your priv...
