Here's an interesting article I just came across concerning Flash 8 (if that is the version you are using) and wmode settings.
http://justin.everett-church.com/index.php/2006/02/23/wmode-woes/ Here's a relevant snippet concerning Events: "*Inconsistent Performance* SWFs using wmode actually perform slightly different from SWFs that have a default wmode. The difference is that when you are running as transparent or opaque, events are delayed until an onEnterFrame. If you are running at a slow frame rate and drive your movie with setInterval or use any number of other events, you are back to your slow frame rate. If you would like to see an example of the difference in the way it runs, take a look here<http://justin.everett-church.com/wmode>(must use IE). The real kicker is that SWFs in IE have this bug. SWFs in Firefox are just fine. While this does irk me just because one of the best things about Flash is its cross-everything consistency, It has caused a problem for a specific application I've worked on. At one point I needed to instantiate a lot of SWFs in HTML. Each instance running at its own framerate starts to bog down the machine at some point just from the processing power it takes to idle a lot of transparent 12 FPS SWFs. My proposed work around was to make the SWFs run at 1FPS or less, and then drive the file with setInterval. This would allow me animate the files at the appropriate frame rate when needed, but otherwise idle at a super low framerate. This works fantastically with a default wmode. With a transparent SWF, the Interval only fired once per second right along with the onEnterFrame. " Hope that helps, Lyndon On 10/31/06, Merrill, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
