Hi Having done some further digging on this issue, I can report it is an IE6 specific problem (it does not occur in IE8). I have reproduced this problem with 2 simple SWF's that just write to an external interface div that logs a message. The problem is caused by setting the wmode to 'opaque'. If I remove the wmode setting (so it default to wmode = window), the problem goes away, however, I have drop down menu's in my app (HMTL ones), that overlap the flex component, and therefore, need to set the wmode to opaque.
The problem does not occur if the 2 components are visible on screen, so I am now trying some different approaches to determine the best work around solution.
