Do you have a URL of a Flash movie that causes this as others in my server
group report no problems.

as posted over at alt.macromedia.flash:

I had a quick scoot back through the posts and couldn't see anything on
this... appologies if it has already been talked to death.

I've notice two pretty bad problems with the latest Flash Player on FireFox.

Problem 1

Check out this site: http://www.subhuman.net. Notice how the Flash movie
doesn't repaint properly? Try dragging another Window over it, or
opening one of the popups. The movie becomes corrupted in FireFox 1.0
and 1.0.1. It only seems to happen if the movie is in a z-indexed <div>.
Really annoying Kinda of ruins our site. I cant find any work around
- and I guess it's a Flash bug as it is responsible for repainting it's
movies... isn't it?

Test URL: http://www.subhman.net

Tested: Windows XP Pro SP2, FireFox 1.0 FAILS
Tested: Windows XP Pro SP2, FireFox 1.0.1 FAILS
Tested: Windows 2000, FireFox 1.0 FAILS
Tested: Windows Server 2003, FireFox 1.0 FAILS

Problem 2

Under FF 1.0.1, loadMovie doesn't work any more! Okay Mozilla must have
changed something, but movies that load other movies into themselves now
seem to stall. If you resize the FF window, the movie sometimes stutters
and appears to load, but the movie does not play properly, or simply
gets stuck.

Tested: Windows XP Pro SP2, FireFox 1.0.1 FAILS
Tested: Windows 2000, FireFox 1.0 WORKS

Arggg. So, what is broken. The player or FireFox, or both?

Must be You or your machines - apart from the fact that subhuman leaves a
lot to be desired - many links broken and nothing going on ?
