Thanks! The ficker problem now is cleared. But the flash animation playing underneath stops. That does not happen. I want to see the text animation inside the flash sprite while keying in search key words in a field sprite.
Man, you want everything! I knew that would happen, but I was hoping you just had a still background in Flash.
Have you thought about having the input field be in the Flash movie? Another solution might be to have more than one Flash member (two copies of the same file), and then set the static of one to true and the other to false. After that you would carefully size the two sprites so that on the stage it looked like one Flash movie (you would play with the originmode to make them join seamlessly). Then the animating area would animate, and the static area would stay static, and not mess up the field's insertion point flashing.
The problem is happening because the Flash sprite thinks it needs to refresh the whole rect of the sprite, which in turn makes the field think it needs to refresh to. The solution is to not be updating something that is under a field.
