Re: FLASH: LoadMovie on Mac with IE4

[Raven Victoria Erebus]

Hi Dave,


Currently we have an open bug with Mac IE 4.5 (only 4.5) and load movie.

The behavior is that everything no matter what the level is set to is

loading into level 0 (the base movie layer) which obviously is

incorrect. 

Currently we are investigating the problem and will be working with

Microsoft if necessary to get a fix for this.

Unfortuanately I don't have a workaround for you other than don't use IE

4.5 on the Mac. (Not much help really I know.) 


My feeling on this is that as it's only on this one platform and one

browser, it's probably something on Microsoft's end, which hopefully we

can get them to resolve fairly quickly.


I apologize for the incovience.
