Hi there,

does anyone know why on some machines when viewing my published flash content, you have to click on the flash movie to activate it before you can use it. When hovering over the movie you get the caption “click to activate content”.

I’ve tested it on fresh installations of windows and some machines do it and others don’t. My problem site is [www.litewavedesign.com](http://www.litewavedesign.com) and the flash movie is at the top of the page.

It is anoying to have to click the movie first each time before using it, especially if it is a menu as in this case.

If anyone knows what this is all about I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Cal.
