Any idea why the email link position changes / jumps on rollover ?

Here's the text page : http://bigapplemodels.com/#/content/zcontact/

And here's the html code:
Code
<textformat leading="100"><img  src="../content/zcontact/Contactpic3.jpg" alt="" width="488" height="100"></textformat>
<br>For photography rates use the form below or email: <a href="mailto:bigapplemodels@gmail.com">bigapplemodels@gmail.com</a><br><img  src="contactform">
Help me Obi-wan.

Yea we discovered this issue short time ago also. It occurs with LINKS on textpages where there is a CONTACTFORM. If you remove the contactform, you will see there is no problems with the link.

Now, this is obviously some kinda flaw with the flash textfields and I cant see any logic to it. Nevertheless, I will do some investigation into this as soon as possible.

Thanks for posting!

Just wondered if a way to stop the jumping email rollover link, other than having a second contact page, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid!

Regards,

Andy

Well, unfortunately this is some bug with flash textfields that we dont really have too much control over. As mentioned, I will certainly be doing some investigation for next release.

Just for reference, we have now fixed this issue, and it will be available in Imagevue X2.6 available shortly ...

In fact, it is more of a workaround because we still don't know why links jump around like this when on the same page as a contact form. We discovered it is related to how Flash embed movieclips into textfields. The solution was to add some blank text before the contact form. This is the somewhat murky fix:
Code
myCSS.parseCSS(".cfix{font-size:1; leading:-150;}")
mytext = str_replace(mytext, "<img src=\"contactform\" />", "<span class='cfix'> </span><img src=\"contactform\" />");

That is great to hear :-) This bug has been bothering me.
