Page with Flash Flickering on Link Rollover in IE6

[poseyDozer]

Hi,

I have run into a bizarre problem in IE6. I have a flash banner on the home page of my site. On that page only, when you roll over a link the whole page (except the banner) flickers in a very irritating way. I do not experience this problem when viewing the page in either Firefox or Opera.

The site uses a CMS called SilverStripe. All pages on the site use the same template file, so the CSS is the same for all pages. The Flash banner loads only on the home page.

You can view the effect by visiting the site at:

Thanks for any help you can give me with this problem.

Correction:

I took the flash off of the site. You can see the effect on our test site:

Thanks.

Hi Again,

I found the problem. I had set the style for a:hover to a new background color:

a:hover {
background-color: #ffffcc
}

Not sure why, but that seems to be causing the flickering. If I remove it, the flicker goes away.
