I have this little problem. My client wanted two distinct swf on a web page: a viewer on top and a slideshow of images at bottom. Clicking a link on the slideshow make the viewer load a movie, by means of LocalConnection api.

The slideshow has a default, so when the page is loaded a default movie start.

This works nice on all browser. The only problem I have is on firefox. When screen resolution is too low, or the monitor is too small (netbook) the slideshow remain hidden until scrolling. Therefore at page loading it doesn't start and the main viewer don't get instructed on playing the default video.

As soon as I scroll the page, and the slideshow swf display on page, it starts and everything works fine.

Do you know if there are any solution to this ?

I cannot change the design, I must have two distinct swf, they come from a library he has, and I am trying to reuse components.

thanks Leonardo
