The change affects all interactive ActiveX controls in a web page. In particular, it affects any Flash movie (SWF) content in a web page. This affects the output from all current and earlier applications which exported HTML\/SWF files including Adobe Flash and SWiSHMax software. Interactive controls are ActiveX controls that provide user interfaces. When a web page uses the APPLET, EMBED or OBJECT elements to load an ActiveX control, the controls user interface requires extra click until the user activates it. IE shows a tooltip when you hover over the control that says \u201cClick to activate and use this control\u201d. The user then has to click once to activate and then again to press a button or click a link displayed by the Flash or Java applet.\r\n\r\nSolution to the problem:<\/span> There is a workaround to this problem involving an external javascript include, which involves another layer between the embedded control and the browser. A simpler technique that can be used requires only a minimal addition to the existing HTML tags, and a small JavaScript file.\r\n\r\nStep 1<\/span>. Add the following line of code right after the opening tag <head>\r\n
<script type=”text\/javascript” src=”flash\/flashobject.js”><\/script><\/div>\r\nStep 2<\/span>. A JavaScript file (download here<\/a>) should be placed to the same directory as SWF file, in this example it\u2019s put to the folder “flash”. Now comes the part with replacing the tag with a call to the JavaScript function. Here’s an example:\r\n\r\nReplace <object> tag:\r\n
<object classid=”clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″\r\ncodebase=”http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0″ width=”768″ height=”347″>\r\n<param name=”movie” value=”flash\/header.swf?button=4″>\r\n<param name=”quality” value=”high”>\r\n<param name=”menu” value=”false”>\r\n<param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”>\r\n<!\u2013[if !IE]> < \u2013>\r\n<object data=”Flash\/header.swf?button=4″ width=”768″ height=”347″ type=”application\/x-shockwave-flash”>\r\n<param name=”quality” value=”high”>\r\n<param name=”menu” value=”false”>\r\n<param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”>\r\n<param name=”pluginurl” value=”http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer”>\r\nFAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this).\r\n<\/object>\r\n<!\u2013> < ![endif]\u2013>\r\n<\/object><\/div>\r\nwith JavaScript function:\r\n
<div id=”firstflash”>\r\nWhatever text or html code you would like get’s put here and will display if the user needs to enable javascript or download flash plugin\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script type=”text\/javascript”>\r\nvar fo = new FlashObject(“flash\/header_v7.swf?button=0”, “firstflash”, “766”, “267”, “7”, “”);\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=”text\/javascript”>\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=”text\/javascript”>\r\nvar fo = new FlashObject(“flash\/header_v7.swf?button=0”, “firstflash”, “766”, “267”, “7”, “”);\r\nfo.addParam(“quality”, “high”);\r\nfo.write(“firstflash”);\r\n<\/script><\/div>\r\nStep 3<\/span>. Then save the document and upload it to your server. When previewing the page in IE you will see that it doesn\u2019t require extra click to activate a Flash part.\r\n\r\nSee also<\/span>:\r\nHow to disable ActiveX warning in IE6\/7 demo movie<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
