I'd recommend www.dreamhost.net. I've been using them for a few years and they kick ass - you can do almost everything through their control panel with no hassle, but if you need human support, it's also good. I think some people at this list also use them and can share their opinions. I wo

A personal thanks, Geoff - using ExternalInterface saved the day for me. This problem has been bugging me on and off the last few months, and it is finally solved. I was thinking it was CSS for a long time. I'm glad it was something that could be fixed with just two lines of cde. Thanks ag

I've been experiencing an intermittent problem with a getURL call back to a javascript function on the page calling an SWF. I'm using Flash 8, and testing on XP. With Firefox, there is no issue. With IE 6, I experience the problem about 80% of the time. This issue is that I have my SWF in a
