Re: Embedding Real Media & Flickering

Here's my guess.

The flicker is contradicting frame updates I think. Certain areas of 
your 'realplayer' window are attempting to re-render themselves at 
different rates, which results in RealPlayer actually re-rendering the 
whole window.

With a flash presentation running at 12 fps, and a video 
presentation running at 15 fps for example, you will have inevitable 
clashes between the different render cycles...

This might also be the cause of your flash playing faster than 
normal as well, as realplayer attempts to 'sync' the framerates of 
the different elements of your presentation.

How to fix this?

I'd suggest making sure that your different elements all have 
similar/standard framerates to minimize this.

Whether it's completely avoidable, I have no idea.
