dear all,

i managed - being a complete beginner - to create some dummy pages with Flash 8 and SSP. then i realized the IE conundrum which kind of destroys the smooth look i was trying to achieve by showing ugly white frames and asking silly questions. i worked around this with the help of this tutorial http://www.verticalmoon.com/tutorials/g … iefix.htm. actually i was trying to get it fixed with SWFObject but the approach is way beyond my skills, i simply do not understand it.
so. i got rid of the obnoxious IE stuff only to find myself facing odd white flashes in between pages now.

please see here: http://www.expozure.net

am i doing something wrong? is there a way around those white flashes?

any help would be sincerely appreciated

On IE 6, I don't get any white flashes. I might know the bug you are talking about - Flash of unstyled content. It is discussed here:

I notice you aren't even using SWFObject on your pages (anymore?), so it's kind of hard to get anyone to test for the behaviour you mention.

Yeah, the first thing I wondered was the whether the bgnd color was set correctly, but I saw you had it set correctly.

If you're interested in using CSS to vertically center your Flash SWF instead of using tables, here's a blog entry I threw together: http://pipwerks.com/journal/2007/05/08/vertical-centering-without-using-tables/

It includes an example using SWFObject.

I've been meaning to post it for a long time, but your question made me get off my butt and finish it. It's probably full of typos, but you might find it useful. :)
