Hi,

I’ve found a strange bug in Internet Explorer 7 (haven’t tried IE6 or IE8, might be the same problem there).  
I’ve searched everywhere and all I have found is a post about the exact same problem:

[http://www.technologyquestions.com/technology/internet-explorer/235793-loading-multiple-images-ie7-flash-player.html](http://www.technologyquestions.com/technology/internet-explorer/235793-loading-multiple-images-ie7-flash-player.html)

You can read about the problem above, but in short:

1. start a couple of loaders (for example to load images)
2. close the tab while loading the images
3. now you can’t go to that page again (not even a different page with the same swf)

I have tried to use stopandunload on all loaders and to remove the swf object. Both solution works, but only if I wait a couple of seconds. But those solutions won’t work because the user should be able to close the window and then open it.  
Dont work with swfobject either.

Thanks!
