Very very strange display problem ....grrrrrr

[adamr1001]

Problem seems to only occur on MAC OS 9, using IExplorer (probelm does not occur with Netscape):

When a window or toolbar is moved over the Flash object, it erases what is displayed within a boundary that is unknown but well-defined. It's as if it is expecting to redraw within the boundary, but the redraw does not occur.

This phenomenon was noticed on other sites but the redraw occurs instantly.

In my flash document, there is no movie clip or vector image that correlates to the boundary that gets erased.

I do not know what that boundary is or how it got defined.

There area outside the boundary does not get erased.

Below are two links of jpeg's showing two explorer windows: in the first picture, just some area was erased, although as you can see in the other picture more could have been. in the second picture, everything that was able to be erased - was.

this is the link of the regular site which (so far) has no problems on any platform or browser combination except for MAC OS 9 + IExplorer.

Netscape 7.02 on Linux I get nothing... (Using the latest flash plugin).

well i figured it out.

setting the scaling properties to 100% conflicts with MAC OS 9 on IExplorer.

The solution is to publish with a fixed pixel size.

i guess the 'fullscreen' appearance isn't realistic.

oh well...

that was a tense few days.
