Marcello suggested:
Use
getURL("javascript:void(setFlashHeight('wrapper','"+h+"')");
I tried adding that, same problem - good suggestion though; I know
this can be an issue. And thanks to Kevin for his suggestions about
pseudo urls.

Do you have an URL where I (and others) can look?
Certainly: http://instapoem.glatz.com/v7.php
Here is another version where I stripped out the enclosing CSS
divisions from all but the SWF:
http://instapoem.glatz.com/v8.php
To reproduce the problem, go to the URL in IE 6 (I'm on XP). You
should see the poem with a purple background. Below this, to the
right of "there should be an image here:", you'll see a small gif
image with the text "List all by author".
Now hit F5 to refresh the screen. The small gif and/or the purple
background will disappear. Refresh a few more times, should keep
happening. I've tried this on a number of systems and the small gif
almost always goes away on refresh. There is also a small curlycue
image at the top that sometimes goes away.
If you flush the browser cache (tools/internet options/delete files),
the problem also goes away, until you refresh again.
If you open the page in Firefox 1.5, the problem never occurs.
This is a stripped down version of a much larger page. There is a
link at the bottom to pull down the .fla file. You can view source
to see the page itself (it is static). If anyone is interested, I
will be happy to mail any other source materials (css, etc.).
I'm primarily a backend developer, and the is the first time I've
worked in Flash for some time, so I apologize for any glaring errors.
This is for a site that will allow members to post their own
poems. One of the goals was to allow them to specify different
backgrounds and fonts. The SWF is transparent, so the background
image shows through. It is set dynamically on the real site, and is
here as a static style on line 18. The poem information and font
specifier are sent to the SWF via FlashVars. In the action script,
you'll see where I make the font assignment based on the values. The
fonts themselves are stored in a second SWF and linked in as external
library sources.
When the poem is loaded, a call is made in the action script to the
function resize(), when in turn calls the javascript function
setFlashHeight() in the HTML. This compares the calculated stage
height passed from the action script to the value stored in the
database, and if they are different, updates the database and
redisplays the page (some of this is done in PHP and isn't visible in
this static source I'm using in this example. I added a return
statement at the top of setFlashHeight() for testing, so it isn't
executed anyway here.
I discovered if I comment out the call to getURL() in the action
script (line 128) the problem doesn't happen. That's what's making
me suspect there is something wrong with the way I'm using this
function, or there is a bug of some sort with Flash or IE (I suspect IE).
thanks to all for their excellent help, Phil
