Just another experience to add. (No solutions, sorry.)
This is with a Flash app built with Adobe's Flex. So no frame-based
animation, and using ActionScript 3.
In IE, everything seems fine. In Safari in general, mouse interactions
(button clicks, rollovers) work fine except with popup menus and
lists. Clicking in a popup menu would most times result in the wrong
item being selected, and it was impossible to scroll popup lists that
had a scrollbar. I tried Brian's suggestion of setting wmode to
opaque. This produced better results. However, none of the popups
worked on the first time of opening. But on subsequent opening, they
worked fine.
I think Flex's PopUp manager creates new Windows to draw the popups. I
guess this points to Brian's idea that it is some kind of "window
juggling" issue.
Cheers
