Hi Steve - everybody: The FlexMDI definitely looks interesting! And I might take you up on your offer to pay you to take a look at our bug.
For everybody's benefit, I've put together a simple PowerPoint giving an example of the problem. You can view the PPT here: http://www.onegen.com/download/FlexWindowNotLoadingBug001.ppt Thanks really for all your time and help - this one's got us baffled!
