I grabbed the zip and I'll check it out, but I'm not too concerned at this point.
Right now I'm doing some event testing with IE.
IE7 seems to handle mouse events like IE6.
Basically, IE does not play nice with the tfr filter and resize script at all.
The problem is events don't bubble up past the flash object.
The good news is that I attached a mousemove to the object and the event handler caught it.
So the first problem is to figure out which browsers handle what events and when.
The next hurdle will be css.
The css will effect the resize calcs, but more importantly, how the browser displays the flash.
Forcing the flash container to position:absolute can really screw up the page layout.
Maybe there's a way for js to "see" if the layout will get hosed and fix it, but I don't know how.
Without absolute positioning, that rules out moving the flash all over the screen via a drag.
For now, "moving" is going to the back burner. I'm going to focus on resizing.
It's pretty clear the current resize script has an issue with IE when flash is in the container.
I'll probably end up rolling my own resize js. I think it will be easier.
At this point, I'm about half way there anyhow.
I'll keep you posted.
