Re: FLASH: Netscape polls Web server redundantly; IE does not.

[Marc Hoffman, Poison Dart Frog Media]

Thanks, Cheri, but that's not it. Changing NN prefs didn't eliminate the 

problem, and anyway since the check-loaded condition is all within Flash, I 

can't understand why Netscape would have any reason to contact the site. 

All Flash is doing (or should be doing), since it knows the movie's already 

loaded, is TellTargeting it to go to another frame. And IE works as 

expected. Unless someone else has noticed this before, looks like I may 

have to start radically changing the Action Script to see if I can work it 

differently. But thanks for your thoughts.
