As reported previously, IE (but never Firefox) will incorrectly begin firing its onComplete event handler before it has fully loaded and initialized its internal "spContentHolder" movieclip.
If I hit F5 to reload the SWF from the browsers cache the scrollpane will load correctly (from the cache). After thinking about this, I realized that I could simulate a browser cache refresh by calling ScrollPane.refreshPane()which forces a reload of its internal "spContentHolder" movieclip but this time *from*the*browser*cache*. It appears to do the trick. I mention it here, in case it will help others. To see the bug in IE clear the cache and then observe the behavior here: http://dennislandi.com/tiledesigner/tile_designer05_x100.html And then here is the fixed version: http://dennislandi.com/tiledesigner/tile_designer06_x100.html Heres is a snippet of my code showing how I handled this: function OnLeftScrollPaneComplete() { if (!_root.scrollpane_loaded) { _root.scrollpane_loaded = true; _root.leftScrollpane.refreshPane(); return; }; ...//continue with normal onComplete code here... }; Hope that helps others. Too often I see a bug reported here without ever seeing a resolution posted... This doesn't fix the bug in IE's Flash Player but it appears to be a rock-solid work-around. Mind you, I load an empty moviclip into the scrollPane's "spContentHolder" property, so there is no penalty in instantly loading again from the cache... Cheers.
