Anyone know a workaround for this bull\*\*\*\*? We took over a site that was designed this way and it’s \*\*\*\*ed, basically.

HTML FRAMES— A “Top” and a “Bottom” Frame:

(The top frame has a Flash menu and the bottom frame has a Flash intro.)

1. The top frame displays fine, but…

**2. The bottom frame is just white with the occasional blinking graphic (in other words, the Flash object is buggy and not displaying properly).**

This is obviously only a problem with IE5 for Macs, as it was designed by people with PCs and it looks fine in Mozilla for Mac. Surely this must be a really old problem that has probably been fixed by the lastest Flash or the latest IE, but I need a fix for the old browser (IE5 for Mac OS 9.2).

Thanks,  
Nate
