Here's one of my projects that the problem is occuring with:
Link (http://www.micromediateam.com/v3/)
The links down the middle column and forum links on the right column are the direct problem. They're all absolute positioned with the flags and other icons (I believe the text, too) positioned in them (so that wherever you hover, the background effect takes place). These are all fine by themselves... but when you introduce the flash (fading 'Artosis'), IE6 and IE7 bite the dust completely (try it yourself). All good browsers (FireFox, etc) handle it without a problem in the world.
My question is does anyone know if this is simply a problem with IE's crap engine not being able to handle the two, or is it something else? You can make the flash 1x1 pixel and make it no more than a kb in size... it will still cause the lag if added with those type of links.
I really hope there is a solution to this (if there isn't, the solution is telling visitors that IE is out of fashion ).
And yes, I also posted this in the CSS forums... but it's not a CSS issue, so.
