Problem; "Click to Activate" message

macromedia flash sitedesign: Hi,

I created a map in Flash and it loads great, works great when you're on a mac
(it was created on a mac too). Though the problem is that when the page is
viewed on a PC and you rollover the map there is a boundry that appears around
the map and a text notice that reads "click to activate and use this control".
Once you click it it goes away and the map interacts fine, but its not good as
it stands. I wonder if it's in the publishing preferences that this can be
resolved. If anyone has ideas please let me know!
Peace for 2007!
joe

Hi Joe

It looks like you've run into IEs security. You have to click to
activate it just the same as allowing active x controls. I'm not sure
if there is anyway around it but you might try looking in your security
controls and see if it allows you to turn it off. I'm not sure if it
would have the same problem with Mozillas Firefox. Perhaps if you
published it to the web some nice techie could have a look and see if
something could be done. I know this isn't a lot of help but maybe I've
stirred someone into action.

All the best

Les

That only happens when using Internet Explorer actually, and it's because of
the lame eolas suit. You can fix by going here: http://blog.deconcept.com
and an article about it here:

I find it best to just always use it as you get version detection as well as
very easy embedding of your movie.
