are you making the js call before the page is done loading?
the browser might be treating is as an anchor click and stop loading
the remaining items on the page (this is normal browser behavior)
since you are using Flash 8, why not use ExternalInterface to make
the call? in IE that will have the player use fscommand (basically)
and i think your images will stop dissapearing. (or failing to load
as the case may be)

I've been experiencing an intermittent problem with a getURL call
back to a javascript function on the page calling an SWF.
I'm using Flash 8, and testing on XP. With Firefox, there is no
issue. With IE 6, I experience the problem about 80% of the time.
This issue is that I have my SWF in a div, with some divs below it
containing some gif images. When I flush the browser's cache, the
images always display. After subsequent page refreshes (F5), the
images usually don't appear (but sometimes do).
I'm using the SWF to display some variable content, filling dynamic
text fields from passed variables. I can also select from a number
of fonts via a passed var. When the font changes, the div height
needed to contain the stage changes. I created an actionscript
function that passes the new calculated height back to the page via
a javascript call:
function resize() {
if (allowResize == "true") {
h = Math.ceil(pBody._y+pBody._height)+10;
getURL("javascript:setFlashHeight('wrapper','"+h+"');");
}
}
The HTML page has the javascript function setFlashHeight() that
resizes the enclosing division for the SWF, via DOM. Like I say,
it all works fine with Firefox, and the HTML and CSS are both correct.
I first suspected a DOM issue, but I later discovered that if I
added a return statement as the first line of the javascript
function, the problem persisted.
If I comment out the getURL call in the actionscript, my
disappearing image problem goes away. So it appears to be a Flash
issue of some sort, which I'm not understanding.
I've Googled around a bit and can't find anything remotely related
to this problem. I'm on a tight project deadline and am about to
send $99 to Macromedia for a support call. I thought I'd check
with this wise group first to see if this rings any bells. Is this
some sort of known issue with Flash/IE? Driving me nuts!
thanks, Phil
