The image used for the ...

Any suggestion on how to write code that si...

The issue is that if i use a default image, that default image will show up for a second before the javascript loads and replaces it.

This works fine on FF but on IE6 only the first 5 flash objects that are visible work. The rest of the flash objects that are initially outside the viewable area are empty when I scroll down.
