I'm having an issue with a project I'm working on, and I'm hoping someone either has a solution, or some information to help me figure this out. I'm creating a CD-ROM that has some QuickTime video, software demonstrations as .swf files, and some links out to HTML pages directly on the CD. The problem I am having is this.

When I run the program, both in authoring and runtime modes, if I view a software demo, come back to the demos menu, then click to go to a different marker with the HTML links, open Internet Explorer, then close IE to come back to the Director movie, the last graphic viewed of the Flash movie is placed over the entire stage, with the menu buttons on top. It's like it's not refreshing the screen, but it already did, when loading a new menu. Very strange.

I've tried several possible things, and the only thing I can come up with that has really changed since the last version of this disc that we did, is the upgrade from Director 8.5 to MX. This only happens on Windows, and again, it happens in both authoring and runtime environments.

I've tried to force updateStage in several places, I've changed the method of opening the HTML files from DirectOS to gotoNetPage, etc. But I can't seem to see it make any difference. I'm stumped. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
