    onmouseout event and flash movies

    if an image which uses the onmouseout event is adjacent to a flash movie and the mouse goes directly from the image to an embedded flash movie the event will not fire

    moving the mouse out of the movie will cause the event to fire

    i notice this in firefox and safari (windows) but not in IE7

    has anyone else seen this? i've searched for this problem and haven't had luck - can anyone point me in the right direction?

    thanks

      Does the Flash movie overlap part of the image?

          they don't overlap - in this case they're both in separate table cells

                  below is a simple example that reproduces the behavior - when moving the mouse out of the image to the left, bottom or right and the alert box appears - move the mouse out of the image to the top, into the flash animation, and it doesn't until you move out of there

                  thanks for the help!

                  Code:
                  <body>
	<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
		<tr>
			<td>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="770" height="114">
							<param name="movie" value="userFiles/test_flash.swf" />
							<param name="quality" value="high" />
							<embed src="userFiles/test_flash.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="770" height="114"></embed>
					</object></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>
				<img src="images/test_image.jpg" width="770" height="114" onmouseout="alert('out!');" />
			</td>
		</tr>
	</table>
</body>

                      The only thing I can think of at the moment is to add some spacing, e.g. cellpadding or cellspacing. That may not be ideal depending on your requirements.
