Jerome,


-------------

problem = multiple .swf's on the same page causes one .swf to jump around on

the screen

-------------


I did an interesting test where I converted a straight .html page to a .php

page (exactly the same code, but with a .php ending on it.) and the problem

occurred straight away. Tried the .html page and things was working fine.


I then quit IE 5 and started it again. This time the top movie (of 3)

shifted position on the .php page, instead of the normal bottom movie.


Occasionally, I think I have found the problem - because the problem is NOT

repeated on the newly coded page no matter how much I resize the window - ,

but then I refresh the page and the problem is back. This is also the case

with straight .html pages, who generally works fine, but occassionaly

exhibit the same problem.


My conclusion is therefore that it is NOT the code, or the .php/.html page

extension or anything else under our coding control that is causing the

problems to occur.



I would love to be proven wrongly,  BUT I think we have found another Mac IE

problem (remember IE 4.5 ?) that we web developers will have to deal/live

with.



Could it be a Flash 5 plug-in problem  ??? (don't think so, but will test)


Could it be a PHP rendering engine problem that somehow send the wrong

coding to the browser ??




JD (????) - Is there any chance that MM could investigate this problem

further, and IF possible perhaps work with the M$ guys at fixing this

problem in the 5.5 version - AND ANY OTHER flash related problems that I'm

100 % certain they will introduce without proper quality testing before

shipping ???


I'd just like to know where the problem comes from and why it's there in the

first place.



regards,


Mats

hi,

thanks a lot for your input, apparently the problem seems to come from

additional php code or comments on the page like Mats said, but I can't

figure out how to by-pass this...

i'll go on with some more testing this week-end, i'll let you know if i find

some answers...

thanks,

J.
