Issue on a mac when browser is deselected

Hi All,

I’m having a really weird issue happening to my project that I can’t seem to find any information about online. The problem is when I’m viewing my project online in a browser (on a mac only) and I go to another application while the browser is still open. It seems that my enter frame event stops and my variables are set to zero.

I’ll try to explain the project as quick and simply as I can. I’ve created a website that is using a 3d carousel created with papervision3D 2. The pages are actually these disco balls that spin around automatically and when one is clicked it spins around to the front position of the carousel then opens to reveal the content pages. When the disco balls are closed the carousel is set to spin automatically at a specified rate and exponentially with the mouse position at a certain point.

The problem I’m experiencing is when the carousel is set to “autoRotate = true” and the enter frame event is firing away setting the degrees for each disco ball and then I deselect the browser by clicking on another application window, all the disco balls in the carousel end up at the front position…

I know this isn’t an issue directly with my code because I’ve tested the site on a pc and tried switching applications and the problem doesn’t happen. But when I tested it on Firefox for mac as apposed to Safari the problem does occur.

Please, can anybody help? I’m stumped…
