Flash Displacements

  • Hi all,

    I'm having a lot of trouble getting several Flash apps to display properly in IE. If the apps are displayed individually in a page they work fine .... but when several are put together in one page, they render from the middle of the <OBJECT> window, not the top left. .....
    see attached image (I am using the charts from http://www.maani.us/xml_charts/index.php... note that the code is identical for all 4 charts)

    Works fine on firefox..... breaks in IE 5, 6, 7.

    There are suggestions that this is an IE cache problem ....however, I have tried placing the following tags in my page, but they have no effect:

    <META HTTP-EQUIV="cache-control" CONTENT="no-cache"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Fri, Jun 12 1981 08:20:00 GMT">

    The Flash apps retrieve data from an XML file using a URL .... I have placed a unique ID in that URL to bypass any caching of the XML file, but this also does not work.

    I still suspect it is a caching issue, but I cant find a workaround.

    Has anyone else had this kind of issue with multiple Flash apps in IE?
    .... any ideas for a solution?

    Thank you
    Dennis.
