Embedded IE and AnimateWindow don't get along

So I have this problem, not sure if it's overcome-able, but I hope so. I create an embedded IE object, and toss it in my GUI. Now whenever I use the AnimateWindow function (include found here) to show or hide the window the IE object gets all glitchy looking. Sometimes it goes all white, other times the content just gets all weird looking.

Any ideas if this can be prevented? Or am I just stuck with it?

#include <IE.au3>
#include <_Animatewindow.au3>

$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()

$gui = GUICreate('', 200, 200)
$bt_Refocus = GUICtrlCreateButton('', -100, 0, 1, 1)
$ob_Main = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 10, 180, 180)
_IENavigate($oIE, 'about:blank')

_IEDocWriteHTML ($oIE, _
    '<body bgcolor="blue" text="white">' & @CRLF & _
    '<button id="closeBtn">Close</button><br/>' & _
    'Click the button to close, or wait for 5 seconds.')
_AnimateWindow($gui, '', 2000, BitOR($WINANI_RIGHTTOLEFT, $WINANI_BOTTOMTOTOP))
GUISetState()


$oCloseObj = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, 'closeBtn')
If Not @error Then
    $oCloseEvt = ObjEvent($oCloseObj, 'closeBtn_')
EndIf

Sleep(5000)

_AnimateWindow($gui, '', 2000, BitOR($WINANI_RIGHTTOLEFT, $WINANI_BOTTOMTOTOP, $WINANI_HIDE))

Func closeBtn_onclick()
    _AnimateWindow($gui, '', 2000, BitOR($WINANI_ALPHA, $WINANI_HIDE))
    Exit
EndFunc

Suggest you try embedding another graphically rich object and see if the issue is unique to IE or not.

Hmm... any suggestions for "another graphically rich object"? Cus I barely know my way around the IE stuff, nevermind finding another one. Sorry. :)

It did that to me, just let the animation effect start, sleep for maybe a second, then let it navigate to the page. It should work after that.

Unfortunately that defeats my entire purpose. I want the content visible as the window slides in. :\

Thanks, I will look into this.

*Edit: Wow that thread is old, unfortunately his example isn't working properly, I'll have to fudge around with it. You wouldn't happen to know of anything else I could try in case I can't figure this out, would you? (Sorry to be such a nag :))
