That timeout isnt excactly bulletproof, but what the heck, fixing this bug never leads to a proper solution ;)
Mine would be having a minimum height for the site(lets say 800) and a minimum width(lets say 600) and whenever dimensions goes under that, it automatically assumes a width of 800 and a height of 600, because most sites or banners(? never build one, but who knows) have a certain minimum which it wont function when going under that. so in psuedo code var newWidth:Number=(stage.stageWidth>800)?stage.stageWidth:800; object.position=newWidth-object.width; this fixes that zero'ing bug of IE and at the same time fixes the fact when people resize the window to a width of say 100 and the site doesnt function anymore.
