Strange bug, please help

Just purchased flasheff and for the life of me I keep running into this problem...

[rallycreative.com]

The text flashes for a second before the animation starts. Any ideas?

It seems that this problem occurs only on Mac because on Windows it works just fine (tested on several browsers on Mac and Windows). The most probable cause is that Flash player does not manage to initialize the component on the very first frame and that's why it flashes just before the animation starts. We recommend placing the FlashEff instance and the target on the second frame and use a stop() function to prevent Flash player from looping continuously. This way, it would have enough time to initialize the component.

Thank you so much.

Placing the instance in the 2nd frame and having the first frame blank worked. Awesome. (:P)

keano,
If you left the first frame blank that's the problem. The first frame should not be empty, put the picture in the first frame but attach the FlashEff instance only in the second frame.
Let me know how this works out.
