Hi - I have a flash file that plays when the end-user mouseover a particular area on the page.
In IE - it appears and plays. When the end-user mousovers the particular area again, it appears and does not play (its at the end so to speak)
In Firefox - it appears and plays. When the end-user mousovers the particular area again, it appears and play again - yippie - correct!!!

Ok - so is there a setting I am missing for IE ????? jerryr125

Post the <object> and <embed> code and we'll take a look.
Also, what's the ActionScript set to do at the end, is there a "stop();" or not?

I took a quick look at the .swf and see a shape fading in and then the letters appear, a..b..c..d..
So is the problem that in IE the second time you mouse over, all the shape and all the letters appear at the same time?
Not knowing much about how you're getting the action to take place, could a on roll out event be missing (to reset the Flash file to it's beginning)? or perhaps that event is being parsed differently in IE than Firefox?
HHHuummmmmm.... just not sure..
