R: FLASH: Forcing a redraw in IE?/ similar to Telegatto problem

[Marco Berti]

Hi Catherine,


I'm Marco, and I made the "Telegatto" site,

I'm sorry for the delay of my answer but I've been away for a few days and

couldn't read my mailbox...


And I'm sorry even 'cause I can't help you, I think you have the exact same

problem and I must say that maybe you are right, it's a "redraw" problem.


I couldn't solve it so the site remained incomplete...poor me...!


I hope someone will help us in the future!

Be sure that if I'll know something interesting about it I'll tell you

immediately (I'm sure you'll do the same...)


One more thing...


>>>with the (really nice I might add) Telegatto site<<<


...thank you very much...

Oggetto: FLASH: Forcing a redraw in IE?/ similar to Telegatto problem



Hi.


I am working on demo for a little interactive room for a home safety site.

At this point, I have nothing but a couple rollovers and animating MCs over

a gif background - pretty clumsy proof of concept stuff.


Since its a test, I wasn't too concerned with the actual display - mostly

checking if buttons worked etc.


But I noticed a problem (IE 4.5 Mac) with redraw, similar to the menu

problems the list member with the (really nice I might add) Telegatto site.


Artwork on the background layer is not displaying under certain specific

circumstances -  *animating cycling* stuff in a top level MC will display. I

have a further detail though - this is ONLY a browser redraw problem. When

the page loads initially, all layers and objects displayed in the movie are

visible. If I open any of the "favorites, history, search, page holder" tabs

in IE, the movie loses all but the top layer of images - in other words it

displays white.  This also happens if I rewindow - that is click on to

another application and then click back to the broswer. However, if I

collapse the title bar of the browser (for you PC guys, this just reduces

the window to the titlebar) and then re-open it via the title bar, the

action forces the browser to redraw and all is well.


If anybody is interested I could post an address, but I imagine its a common

enough problem.


Could it be because I have a one frame movie which is not forcing redraw

itself?


Regardless, is there ANY way to force IE to redraw? Was there a solution to

Telegatto?


thanks,


Catherine
