In the 3dxml sample from the "Samples" page, the 3dxml player flickers everytime the mouse pointer crosses over the boundary of a select1 control. Once I click inside the 3dxml player, the flickering behavior disappears. I've seen this happen on 3 out of 4 machines that I was able to test this on so I realize that it could be a graphics driver issue. Being that I have the latest graphics driver installed, would anyone know of another way of getting rid of the flickering by somehow faking this mouse click inside the 3dxml player, or instantiating the 3dxml player directly in the clicked state or is there some other way of getting rid of any flickering.
any suggestions appreciated
Is it just the normal IE7/Eolas behaviour?
Are you using IE7? If so, this problem might simply be caused by the changes Microsoft made to the browser so that you have to approve embedded objects by clicking on them. I think there are some workarounds, but let's establish first whether you are using IE7.

Using IE6
This behavior is happening in IE6 (6.0.2900.2180.xpsp.050928-1517)

Probably need to avoid using the 'object' tag
I've just tested on IE6 and I also get the flickering. However, I also get mouseover text that says "Click to use and activate this control" when moving the mouse over the 3DXML control, and that is basically the Microsoft response to Eolas. Do you get that text? If so, that's perfectly normal, but the only way around it is to use some script to embed the 3D viewer, rather than using the
objecttag inline. An even better solution would be to hide the control inside a custom-control.--
