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](http://Kirupa.com) ( there is a workaround on this) – I tried it this a.m - works great 🙂

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

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…😃

The fix on the homepage of [kirupa.com](http://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…

```auto
<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?
