Yes! It does fix the problem. Thanks very much! Now let me expalin why I
didn't just try it and then reply back. Normally I would have done so and I
did change the code but my FTP client (WSFTP) on this machine just stops
working after about 4 hours and I have to re-boot. I was lazy and wanted
more information before I went through that ordeal. Therefore, I guess your
snooty answer may have been somewhat in order and I apologize and I also am
very grateful for the help and time in looking over the code.
BTW, this may sound stupid but what is transparent mode? Is it so HTML can
be seen underneath like on stupid point roll banner adds or those stupid
adds you always see poping over HTML for the ARMY? My HTML guy always sets
that WMODE to true. If your not doing a banner add then why would you need
it?
Again, thank you Marc,
V

I will try right now and I do appreciate the response. Let you know in a
few. Thanks again, V

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?
