IE makes flah inactive

So now in IE, now you have to click on a flash file (or any active-x control for that matter) to make it active before you can use it?

I think it is new security settings for IE6.
VERY ANNOYING>>>

:hangover:
Am I alone on this? Is there a way to overcome this?

check the front page of Kirupa.com ( there is a workaround on this) – I tried it this a.m - works great :slight_smile:

p.s. - Screw IE - This may just be what Firefox needs to steal market share :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

^:lol:
firefox>IE with that patch

Thanks guys, sorry I never look at the home page of Kirupa.
I always go straight to the forums…

I prefer FF as well, especially the dev toolbar plugin, awesome…

THanks, again, will give it a go now…:smiley:

The fix on the homepage of kirupa.com hasn’t completely worked for me. I don’t know if it’s just a problem within my code, but a xml flash menu that worked before does not now. If anyone knows anything about this, help is apreciated…

<div id="flashcontent" style="width: 765px; height: 58px"> 
  
<script type="text/javascript"> 
var fo = new FlashObject("http://www.kirupa.com/swf/headerv2b.swf", "animationName", "765", "58", "8", "#FFFFFF"); 
fo.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "sameDomain"); 
fo.addParam("quality", "high"); 
fo.addParam("scale", "noscale"); 
fo.addParam("loop", "false"); 
fo.write("flashcontent"); 
</script> 

Some questions about this code:

1 - Why didnt he close the div tag?
2 - Whats the “8” refering to?
3 - Does anyone know where I can find a full list of Paramaters and what they do?
