In what situations does Flash / SWF misbehave in different browsers?

Question

Hi,

Recently I had some issues with Flash in IE, involving a SWF which is something like a gallery.

In Firefox its loads perfectly, but in IE it doesn't work properly sometimes. The first time it is loaded its works fine but when I refresh all the images are blank. The image data came from XML.

I wish to get some tips regarding the browsers and Flash / SWF behavior in each.

Thanks in advance.

I once faced a similar problem. IE first displays image properly. Upon refresh it didn't display the image. The problem was with the IE security settings on scripting languages. If the script fails to load properly on first time, IE blacklists the script and hence blocks it from running again. When u reset the security settings it will work. But you should still get into the bottomline of the issue and fix it.
