macromedia flash sitedesign:
Hello all,

I designed a site in Flash. It requires Flash 8 and on both my Mac and PC it
looks/works fine. But my client claims that on both PCs she has in her office,
the site freaks out in IE. It works fine if she goes through AOL or Firefox -
just IE is a problem.

Would you all mind taking a look and telling me if your are seeing the same
problem? Specifically, on the homepage, as the mouse moves towards the "W"
logo, the navigation is supposed to smoothly curl out from behind it, like
petals on a flower. But my client says she sees the logo do lots of flashing
and the navigation doesn't curl out. The site is:

Thanks for feedback.

Works fine for me in IE6 on Windows 2000.

The problem could be this: The client may have the Flash 7 plugin in IE.
Unfortunately, Flash 7 Player will actually play Flash 8 files without alerting
the user that they need to upgrade the player. Then what happens is a lot of
Flash 8-only features (and some other things as well) do not play back
properly, and some embedded images and graphics will not show up at all.

I suspect that this is the problem. If so, your only remedy is to put a Flash
Player detection script into the HTML.
