Activating embedded Flash and active content
2006 August 13
Some time in the last couple months, Micorosft Internet Explorer had "security" updates which prohibit Flash and ActiveX content from being properly displayed.
Most sites I go to now which use Flash or ActiveX objects, I first have to click on the item to "activate" prior to actually being able to use. This is quite annoying when Flash is used for things such as navigation.
To fix the issue, this solution from Adobe does the trick.
It's pretty simple... Simply include the .js file in the zip download and modify the code from the sample html file included.
Nick, I've tried this snippet on a number of sites since you recommended it. It really does the trick. Thanks for the help!!
