have a swf button, set to be invisible? Not sure I’ve ever had a button set to

if its set to be invisible it ought to be invisible – i.e. not flicker… probably
a timing thiig in the engine, as it probably waits for the button to load before
setting the visibility, hence the flicker. I’ll look tomorrow.</SPAN></P>
