Have any of you had this problem?

Hi All,

OK, just recently on one of my home computers when I view a site with flash content on it, all of the flash elements on the page show up “highlighted” with a dark box outline around them. When you hover over the boxes a tooltip appears saying “click to activate and use this active X control” This is so annoying! Has anyone else experienced this? if so, how the heck do you get rid of it! Thanx for any help!

If this is happening to content you created, you can try the fix mentioned here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/flash_fix.htm

For all other sites, you can’t get rid of it if you are using IE. The change is a result of a lawsuit between MS and Eolas :frowning:

ohhhh noooooo really… thats terrible! So how long should IE react this way? Thanx for letting me know!

PS>> does your above solution work for those people with javascript turned off?

Hey Guys and Gals,

Im trying to implement the above solutions in one of my sites. I have two flash files being loaded into the site (one right on top of the other) and the code im using gives me a fatal error when I run the page. Any advice as to what i am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated! Thanx!

<script type="text/javascript" src="flashobject.js"></script>

<div id="flashcontent1" style="width: 752px; height: 60px">
<div id="flashcontent2" style="width: 752px; height: 700px">

<script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new FlashObject("header.swf", "animationName", "752", "60", "7",
"##FFC329");
fo.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "sameDomain");
fo.addParam("quality", "high");
fo.addParam("scale", "noscale");
fo.addParam("loop", "false");
fo.write("flashcontent1");
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="flashobject.js"></script>
var fo = new FlashObject("index3.swf", "animationName", "752", "700",
"7", "##FFC329");
fo.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "sameDomain");
fo.addParam("quality", "high");
fo.addParam("scale", "noscale");
fo.addParam("loop", "false");
fo.write("flashcontent2");
</script>
