The page links on my flash site shift on mousover, even though they are set to
the exact X,Y position. I have checked and double checked the .fla file, and
would be willing to let someone look at the file if possible. I even tried to
compensate for the movement by starting a few pixels over, etc. but still no
luck. This problem is found in the fla, the swf, and on the site at
www.misdirektedphotography.com

Please help!

Thank you,

I don't see any shift except maybe a tiny bit for "EVENTS"

Your html only requires Flash7 player for a Flash8 file. Nice looking website. Good one. You could fix the "click here to
activate" thing to improve it though.

There are various solutions. Here is one..

BTW.. The "click here to activate" thing only happens on Internet Explorer.

Do you see the shift on various browsers and Flash player versions?
Do you empty your browser cache before loading the latest swf changes?

Wish I could but I have an older version of Flash so I can't open it.

About the cache thing.. the browsers use a cache so that after the first time you visit a website it brings up the graphics from the
cache instead of downloading it from the website to speed things up. The problem with Flash embedded in an html page is that when
you hit refresh on your browser, it just refreshes the html file and not the swf file that it loads. So.. every time you make a
change to your swf file and go to test it, you keep seeing the old file instead of the new one.

You can either go to your cache and delete just the swf file or you delete all the files in your cache (much easier). You should
do that once in awhile anyway because the number of files in there gets pretty big after awhile. If you haven't emptied it before,
it's going to take a minute to empty it.

To empty the cache in Internet Explorer:
Tools-->Internet Options-->Delete Files (in the temporary Files section)

hmm...that's funny. I see a shift on "seniors", "events", and "contact"...Plus
I've noticed these shifts on other computers too, so I dont think its a
resolution problem on my PC either..

Also, how do i fix the "click here to activate"?

Thanks,

Yep, I notice the shifting in both Firefox and IE and Apple's Safari. I havent
tried different versions of Flash because I dont have any other than 8.
And I'm not sure how to "empty your browser cache before loading the latest
swf changes", but if that could solve my problem, I am interested!
Also, if you are willing, it would be great if you could take a look at the
fla and see if you see something different...

Thanks,
