It does work in IE 5 but can't really exclude IE 4.5 users...

If you want to see the site as it stands its posted at http://www.allumelagang.com


As for other design aproaches, I have started to copy the individual

files into the main flash movie and using tell target instead of load

movie... It does add a little weight to my file but not to much, and it

means updating the whole site instead of only part of it when

corrections are needed, but we do what we can...

Not your fault and I'm also glad that most of them have been resolved in

IE 5



If you can think of another solution let me know...
