I’ve struggled with this a lot

Flash will ONLY load when it becomes into view on the screen  
For example, it won’t load a Flashmove that is at the bottom of the page  
INSTEAD: it will ONLY load when that part of the screen comes into view

I think I’ve sussed out characteristics:

- Older Flash, ver 7 and below, this isn’t a problem

- Newer Flash, ver 8 and above: problem

BUT: this is NOT a problem on IE

Why why why!  
How can I control and MAKE load?

Thanks
