Perhaps Lanny's suggestion will work, but may not work with a single frame SWF. The problem resides in how the Flash Player is initiatated on first render. Basically the ActionScript is being interpreted faster than the visuals are rendered (which includes the scene).
I've gotten to understand this and I have adopted a way of initializing all the Stage parameters first then initializing the elements. And lastly, I actually call the onResize method for good measure because in some instances first render does not trigger a resize event. _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
