Problem:
In Internet Explorer you get the message "click to activate and use this control" this is because Microsoft lost a court battle about embedding content in its browser. Now as a result you have to activate objects in the browser. Fortunatly you can stop this effect using JavaScript.
Solution:
Create your own JavaScript file (dycept.js for example) and insert the following code into the head of the html page:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="lib/dycept.js" />
Insert the following code into the JavaScript file:
function activateFlash(fla){
var mov = document.getElementById(fla);
mov.outerHTML = mov.outerHTML; return true;
}
The code above allows you to activate movies by passing it the ID of the movie as a variable.
Example:
Change the body tag to:
<body onload="activateFlash('flashmovie');">
and then change the flash movie to have a ID of flashmovie
<object id="flashmovie" ... </object>
Now when the page has loaded the click to activate will be removed for flashmovie.
All the best, David Batey.
