Hi to all,

short issue description:
The IE breaks loading/rendering a html page, when a embedded flash
movie call a javascript function (in the same html page).

infos for reproducing this isse:
1. make a simple flash movie with following actionscript code:
getURL("javascript:CallMe()");

pleae notice:
this actionscript function calls a javascript function named
"CallMe()" in the "parent"
html page:

2. take the published html page from macromedia flash, wich embed the
flash movie with a object tag.

3. edit the html page and insert following sample javascript code in
the header of the html site:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
 function CallMe()
 {
  // do nothing or some sensless things, e.g.
  window.open("http://www.google.de","_blank");
 }
 // -->
</script>

4. insert some images into the HTML Site.
(like <img src="img/clown.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="267"
border="0">)

5. Test it in IE and in e.g. Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape

behavior in IE:
The IE stops loading the images in html page, when the call is coming
from the flash movie.

behavior in Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape:
Everything O.K. !

additional notices:
- in my example you will see a new opened window with google, thats
the result of the javascript function
- With dial up connection you will not see any images in the html
page, because the flash movie is faster than loading one of the
images.
- the issue does not occur local, because all images are loading
done,
before the flash movie calls the javacript function

IMPORTANT:
we are not the first, that noticed this issue:
