When I drop a MP3 file on my page it comes in with an item size of 0 X 0 pixels. Thoughts?

change the width from flexible to fixed (%) or fixed and adjust the value under inspector’s “Format” to something.

Cheers

Not seeing “Format” in the inspector.

Ups - wrong translated:

It should be read “Dimension”.

I understand but thought that should be happening automatically.  
Thanks again

Unlike a graphic an MP3 has no inherent Dimensions for FW to ‘read’

However I think that this may be a Bug in FW7 as earlier versions produce a standard 200 x 41px container.

Your correct. It worked fine in FWP 6 but not in 7.  
Thanks

Jacob,David, I was just about to jump in on this one as I’ve recently finished [http://www.p2v.rocks](http://www.p2v.rocks) and they were all showing as normal in FW6.

I dragged them onto the pasteboard then copied and pasted into html boxes afterwards and all worked (fairly) okay. The only problem I have is that on certain small screens the mp3 clips don’t quite reduce as much as needed and spill out of their containers slightly, but as for the initial placement, they all showed at the expected size.

I’ve just upgraded to FW7 but haven’t had a chance to test drive it yet, so I’ll be watching this thread with interest.
