Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Layer deletion not working in Netscape

[Jordi 'I. M. <jmi...@or...>]

Netscape does not allow physical layers to be destroyed. Therefore DynAPI
simply hides the layer and adds it to a temporary array. Any layer created
after this will make the API reuse one of the deleted ones, and then content
will be overriden and thus the flash movie destroyed. Simply set the HTML
content of the layer to "" before destroying it and you will destroy the flash
movie.

I'll update the API's delete() method so it does it, but in the meantime you'll
have to do it in your own code.
