Embedded swf "jumping" when scrolling an html page

Hello!

 

I have created a banner file in Flash and when embedding an swf file on the html page the swf banner appears to be "jumping" up and down when the page is longer and needs to be scrolled. This only happens when scrolling the page.

I put up an example here:

www.selkografiikka.com/test/coaching4.html

 

You can see the black swf box jumping towards the red dots when scrolling.

This turns out to be a problem on a website I'm working with since it's creating a rather nervous vibe to the whole feel of the site - example here:

http://www.selkografiikka.com/tindra/index.htm

 

Any ideas what's causing this?

I am using Dreamweaver and Flash cs3.

It seems to be a problem in all the browsers.

    Everything looks fine here (Windows 7, FF 15, IE 9, Opera 12, Safari 5 and Chrome 21), it may just be that you need an update to your flash player or browser.

     

    Firefox had all kinds of problems with the Flash plug-in in FF13-14, 15 cleared everything up as far as I've seen..

    I don't see it either.  That said, Flash may not be your best option these days since Flash is not supported by any Apple iDevices.  Those visitors will see nothing.

     

    A jQuery slideshow or rotating banner would reach a much wider audience with fewer collateral problems.

    jQuery is a very popular JavaScript library.  It's the foundation for countless free and commercial widgets, menus, etc... 

     

    Below are some commercial Sliders that might work well too.

    WOW Slider
