Thanks for the response and the link to the new player, night.
After playing around with it for a while though, it seems to be having similar problems. I wish I could share a demo but I couldn’t seem to get it working on any of these sandbox sites.
Though the controls are in HTML5, the player is still in Flash and that seems to be a problem for Chrome- at least when applying transforms. To me, it looks as if the Flash player is somehow getting resize events when it shouldn’t, (with the wrong value too)…
The more I play around with this the more I think this is just a Chrome bug. I’m going report the issue and if / when they get back to me I’ll make sure to update this thread.
