[SWFObject] [OT?] drag/drop <div id="flashcontent"></div>

Wed Aug 2 07:53:51 PDT 2006

yeah the main thing to be aware of, is that if you change the  
position: css of any parent to a Flash element, firefox (i think)  
will redraw all the children of that element... which is a really  
crappy 'bug' (not sure if it's an official bug or not, but IE and  
Safari i think don't do it)

so when it reflows that stuff, it will reset your Flash movie (which  
is probably why the swfobject dissapears and comes back - it's  
reloading the whole thing - you could test this by looking at the sun  
animation - it starts at the bottom and then slowly rises up, so you  
can see if it's resetting entirely or just blinking out for a second.
