Director's Flash tree component fails after switching away and back to projector window

Asked by peter-h in Macromedia Director Video Editing Software, Macromedia Flash

Tags: Macromedia / Adobe, Director, MX 2004

When using the flash tree component in Director MX 2004, if I switch away to another application and back to the projector, the flash component fails to operate correctly and erroneously displays a superimposed square outline within the sprite (see attached file for screen grab image). The number of times I switch back and forth before this happens varies - sometimes first time, and sometimes up to 6 or 7 times before occuring. THe tree no longer functions after that point, but the rest of the Director movie runs fine.

I've tried not using the built-in components and just embedding a Flash swf asset created from an FLA with a tree component in it, but it does exactly the same thing.

I'm using DIrector 10.1.1 on WIndows XP SP2, loading a .dcr file into quickstart projector using a separate Xtras folder.
