Interesting,
I posted a query (a Flash forum) about the Flash Satay method not always displaying on
Opera.
Sometimes it required a page refresh in order to display.
I was told that it was a problem with my copy of the browser.
Which didn't ring true at the time either.
I learnt to live with the effect as they were only single-page fun sites.

I'd be very interested in any solutions anyone comes up with.

Subject: Re: [WSG] Valid Flash state of play
Hi
I have a feeling that the inconsistencies in valid xhtml markup for
embedding (<object>) Flash were from general badness in the ActiveX used
by Flash Player (somebody mentioned a corrupt OCX file on the Flash
Satay discussion at ALA) and Internet Explorer having it's own version
of the object tag.
There are a few links in the archive of this list worth checking out.
The version i have at webqs.com works for all the browsers and players I
could lay my hands on.
Cheers
James
