I’ve noticed it’s not just that, it seems every Flash file I’ve viewed in IE ever since Flash 8 came out…

…you have to click once on the movie for it to activate Flash right click??

I don’t get what is up with IE. Mozilla doesn’t have this problem. And once I click on the Flash, the browser scrolls up.

For example, take a look at the following sites in IE:

[www.shoesurfing.com](http://www.shoesurfing.com) (on the right and left sides, there is animation…and when you rollover them, it highlights it like it’s a button or something…then when you click, it randomly scrolls the browser window??)  
[www.birkenstockbeach.com](http://www.birkenstockbeach.com) (rollover the footprints on the lower right or left hand sides of the screen).

Somebody please tell me this is either a problem with IE or how to fix this???

By the way, if it matters, I’m using Flash MX Pro 2004. That’s what we have here.

Thanks
