LocalConnection - lag in IE and Safari

Question

Hi all,
I'm using the LocalConnection class (Flash MX 04 /
ActionScript 2.0) to communicate between two SWF files within the
same HTML page.
When I run the page in IE (5.5 and 6) or Safari, there is a
significant time lag (I'm talking seconds, not miliseconds)
between when SWF 1 sends and SWF 2 receives, however when I run in
Firefox or Mozilla there is hardly any lag (mere miliseconds).
It was suggested that it may be caused by the fact that IE
uses ActiveX, however the SWFs are embedded within the HTML using
ONLY the <object> tag, there is NOT <embed> tag used
whatsoever.
After some more testing I've established that if I use ONLY
the <embed> tag and not <object> then the lag is
virtually identical across browsers. Unfortunately <embed> is
absolutely not an option for the commercial site.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

One your BEETHOVEN and BORDEAUX pages embed the photos in the text box itself so when the text box moves the photo move also. That will prevent the overlap you're seeing on those two page. My tutorial site is created that way: http://toadstutorials.info. On those pages I just added the photo to one line and set the justification for that line to center with the Inspector/Text/Text pane.
This demo page illustrates adding images to a text box and then using the text wraparound feature: Photos and Shapes in Text Box with Wraparound.
