Flash Player - Embedding swf causes weird padding on table cells?

I made a 3 x 3 table that has 20px x 20px dimensions for each cell. Whenever I embed a 20px x 20px flash swf in each cell and give it width and height 20px, it adds a padding from somewhere.

It makes my table too big and the layout off.

What is causing this? Anyone know a solution?

I'd check the CSS relating to however you have embedded the SWF file. Without more information it would just be endless guessing. When I embed a SWF I use swfobject2 with its dynamic method. That means I have a div tag with an associated CSS ID. Then in the stylesheet file I set the dimensions of the SWF div like:

Hey Tann, great to read from you!

I ended up using
object { display: block; }
or
creating a style for the div where my swf was embedded of line-height:0;

I read on another website that object tags are treated as either inline or blocks. So you're solution would have worked since you mentioned display:block.

Hope you are well mate, I thought you left the forum for a second
