Loading multiple images in IE...

Hi,

I encountered a very strange problem (probably bug) while loading multiple images from IE. Flash is very simple (code is stripped version of match larger program) it contains simple for loop that loads image 20 times, and COMPLETE handler that position image.

Running application from Flash IDE is ok, but if user run flash embeded into html from IE (IDE auto generated html) and interrupt loading (closes IE tab (not whole IE, just tab)) next load of same html stop working. What is event more strange, is that image url entered in addres field of IE will not work?!?!

To conclude, to reproduce this behavior: run html from IE and close tab in middle of loading process (after few images loaded). Running html again will not work (or typing image url into address). NOTE that tab must be closed (not whole IE). Closing IE and running html again will work normaly.

Is there any idea how to correct this? Note that I used different image links, and any of them have same behavior, so i excluded url as error.

P.S. I use IE 7 under the Vista, but IE 7 with XP also have same behavior.

Thanks

If you mean that image service have simultaneous download limit, it does not. We have number of tile-generating services, and also prerendered images, and on every system we have same issue.

Also, any flash-based map that load tiles are prone for this error (e.g. yahoo maps, flashearth even google flash maps).

P.S. On Firefox it works ok.

that's probably a simultaneous download limit. to remedy, don't load your next image until the complete of the previous has executed.
