Flicker when hiding Flash on IE 6 & 7

imattjc · Post by **imattjc** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 6:01 pm

I have a site and need to hide a Flash div when I show the sub menus becuase on Safari the Flash 'messes' up the menus. The hiding/showing works well on Safari, FF (Mac/Win), but on IE (6 & 7) there is significant flicker as we scroll horizontally across the menu.

The top level of the menu is all images and actually has two sides. There are a total of 4 menu files I have listed below...

Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

Left hand menu (top):

Code: Select all

with(milonic=new menuname("MainMenu")){
alwaysvisible=1;
left=0;
orientation="horizontal";
style=menuStyle;
top=76;
aI("offfunction=on();onfunction=off();image=/img/sep2.gif;overimage=/img/sep.gif;padding=0;itemwidth=3;imagealign=center;type=header;");
aI("offfunction=on();onfunction=off();image=/img/learn.gif;overimage=/img/learn_hi.gif;showmenu=Learn;url=/know/;pageimage=/img/learn_hi.gif;pagematch=/know/");
aI("offfunction=on();onfunction=off();image=/img/understand.gif;overimage=/img/understand_hi.gif;showmenu=Understand;url=/understand/;pageimage=/img/understand_hi.gif;pagematch=/understand/");
aI("offfunction=on();onfunction=off();image=/img/fix.gif;overimage=/img/fix_hi.gif;showmenu=Fix;url=/fix/;pageimage=/img/fix_hi.gif;pagematch=/fix/");
aI("offfunction=on();onfunction=off();image=/img/sep2.gif;overimage=/img/sep.gif;padding=0;itemwidth=3;imagealign=center;type=header;");
}
drawMenus();
