loaded irr file

I load in a lightmapped .irr file - I notice when the camera view moves around, the edges of objects flicker slightly. Is there anything in irrEdit I can set to decrease this, or in irrlicht?

it happens when movement is involved - when two meshes are juxtaposition - even overlapping, when moving the camera around the lightmapped scene, the edges of the meshes flicker slightly. Like a brick wall joining to another section of brick (straight edges).

that's z-fighting, usually a model design flaw.
making less space between the near and far planes of the camera will make it look slightly better, or using a higher resolution z-buffer. (svn irrlicht has a higher res depth buffer by default, or in 1.1 you can enable the stencil buffer). if your faces are very close together or overlapping then there's nothing much you can do about it apart from make them further apart
