Doesn't ring a bell for me, Frederico... as you know, people regularly use

these tools together.


Only red flag that comes to mind at the moment is if you drag the SWF into

the visual editor, rather than using an OBJECT/EMBED pair... this can tend

to confuse the IE/Win32 browser which uses ActiveX Controls rather than

Netscape plugins. (Rephrased, use Aftershock's export, or similar tag

structure... if you just drag the SWF in to AGL then it may not get full

markup.)


I can't get a match for "cause hidden objects to appear", though... you

might try asking them to try a simple test page first, and this could

reveal the unusual thing not yet in the current description.
