Without a URL we can't help you determine if it is an HTML problem or a

problem with the Fl;ash file.


The usual problem with freezing (or other wierd actions) is calling a

point that isn't loaded yet. And yes it might show up in one browser and

not another. The best test for this, if the action is a button Frame

action, is to make sure the file is completely loaded before clicking

anything. This technique of course will not work if it is a frame action

that is causing the problem. Also these problems are often intermittent

based on exact loading condition imposed by the Web.

Solutions include restructure or 'If Frame is Loaded' routines or a

combination of both.
