IE and FLASH

[thomas88]

hi all,

I have flash (*.swf) included in my website but every time I enter my site IE has restricted running ActiveX control... do all flash movies do that? How can I automatically make IE show my flash since the file has no ActionScript... it’s only a picture slide?


Thanks

IE only does that when flash needs installing or updating.

Found this for you:

This problem has become widespread since the “EOLAS problem” (also known “the grey box of death”) and requires users to “click here to activate and use” any content created with an <object> or <embed> tag.
