Hi everybody - I’ve been having problems with a transparent flash movie crashing intermittently in Internet Explorer 6.0. I published the movie using Flash MX and have the latest version of Flash Player. I used the wmode parameter to achieve the transparency effect.
Anyway, I’ve read about what seems to be a similar issue on the Macromedia page here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/flashplayer_r40.htm
Which says, “Rapidly loading different DHTML-heavy pages causes intermittent crash” (with the wmode parameter).
I’m not sure if this is the cause, but it’s pretty frustrating. I see flash ads on yahoo and other big sites which seem to be using the same transparency effect, but they are stable. Any idea what’s wrong with mine?
For those of you who are adventurous and want to check out the site I’m working on, it’s here:

Note that it doesn’t crash all the time - so you might need to click around a bit using the main navbar on the top of the page.
Thanks!
