flash actionscript : Any way to avoid having to click to activate...

I published my flash movie and everything is working well thanks to those who
helped me!

Upon deploying the Flash movie I was a bit disturbed that a leabel comes up
telling the user to click to activate the control. Is there any way to make
the control active by default? This is potentially confusing to my users.

Thanks!

This is in response to a suit with Microsoft. I think most flash devs are
pretty happy about it (wink). You can always write a small javascript to place
the .swf, and I believe that is a valid work-around. Once upon a time I had an
article about it on my desk...

Thanks...I too am now a convert and I am happy with it reading that ;-)

The Javascript did the trick nicely!

Thanks!

Either that, or walk to everyones' houses / offices, delete IE, instal FF, and
kick them in the shins if they try to launch some other browser. Alas, we
cannot force everyone to use good browsers, so we design down :)
