Hi,

When I create a Flash site and open it in a browser, I get first need to click the movie to activate it and be able to use it (the famous “click to activate and use this control”). However, I noticed that some (a lot?) Flash sites don’t need to be activated. How can this be done?

Thnx in advance,  
Grenouille
