I have a flash navigation setup at [http://stw.ryerson.ca/~acc/index2/index.html](http://stw.ryerson.ca/~acc/index2/index.html), and whenever I open the pages through IE, the animation doesn’t get rolling. When I put the mouse over it, I get the message “Click to activate and use this control”…I don’t know wth this is, but how do I get rid of it and automatically open up the site with the animation?

On another topic on the navigation, whenever I first move the mouse over and out of each menu box quickly, it will stay half way through the animation. **On hte menu, quickly drag the mouse left to right (or vise versa)** and the wierd part is, whenever I do it again, the animation works just fine:huh: Whats up with that? Is my setup for the animation improper?
