First off, my apologies to Victor for being snooty in my previous
reply. That was not a good way to handle it, but I was annoyed
because I'd taken the time to look at both pages, look at the html
code (which was presumably the thing that was causing the swf to
break), and offer a suggestion. When Victor replied by asking if that
was the problem, I thought he ought to have done the work of trying
out my suggestion (which was very quick and easy) rather than engage
me in another response. I was being a bit prickly, but I wasn't
trying to be a "smartass" in explaining what "performance hit" means,
since I think that's quite possibly the problem.
John & Victor: As for what the problem is, I don't see that the
dragging is actually being dropped. What I do see is an erratic frame
rate, which is exactly what WMODE = transparent might produce in a
tween-heavy simulation such as we have here. When I play the game,
the dragging is never lost, but things run choppily which feels as if
I have no control.
Victor: please delete the html line that sets WMODE, and let us know
if that fixes the problem.

when he uses swfObject, he looses that functionality. It's not a
performance question, its a functionality question.

"Performance hit" means a reduction in performance (extra burden on
the CPU), which is what you described. Why don' t you change the code
and see if that fixes it?
