RE: FLASH: 2 objects + 1 page = problems

[Unger, Russell]

I'm not certain I understand JC's solution to this, so maybe I can try and

expand more on the problem...


On my secondary pages of the site I'm building, there are 2 separate Flash

pieces.


One sits in the upper left corner as a navigation point.  The other sits

along the left hand side as a navigation point.


Other than that, everthing is HTML within the page.  However, left-hand-side

navigation only shows the very first frame of the action in IE.  In NS, it

works just fine--completes it's animation and all that.


I see it working fine in NS.


I don't have any Tell Targets or anything at all fancy in the pages.


This is where I'm stumped.

Hi Russell,

Without a URL we can't help you determine if it is an HTML problem or a

problem with the Fl;ash file.


The usual problem with freezing (or other wierd actions) is calling a

point that isn't loaded yet. And yes it might show up in one browser and

not another. The best test for this, if the action is a button Frame

action, is to make sure the file is completely loaded before clicking

anything. This technique of course will not work if it is a frame action

that is causing the problem. Also these problems are often intermittent

based on exact loading condition imposed by the Web.

Solutions include restructure or 'If Frame is Loaded' routines or a

combination of both.
