I have designed some flash buttons for a site using both a sound on rollover
and then link on click. They work fine on the Mac in Safari, Mozilla and
Explorer with out any additonal involvement, but when I test it on the PC in
Explorer using XP, I have to clck to activate the flash, then to get my link I
have to click twice.

I've narrowed it down to an XP problem and Active X, but I can't find any
solutions to the problem! Other sites out there are working on XP with a single
click. Anyone have a solution for me! This is critical!

Thanks.

If you are viewing a web site, you cannot do anything to fix it, except
complain to the web master

Here is a link to find information on how to fix your website to cope with
the activeX active content changes:

Lighten up! Jeckyl gave you the info you needed, just did it in an amusing
manner I think ;) The point being a cursory search from you would have saved
everyone the time and trouble

I will not lighten up. Jecky didn't give me info, he sent me to a page that
told me that I was an idiot.

I searched the web and did not turn up the info you sent me. I could spend
days and days of which I did not have the time to find the right info. I
thought the point of these forums was to help people. Now I think you are both
ueseless sacks.

Exactly. Some people have no sense of humour :)

Well .. that's a confusing sentence from someone so STUPID as you.

Next time ..get yourself a sense of humour .. and before you accuse someone
of not helping, have a look at the site they actually directed you to that
has all the information you need to solve your problem. Oh no .. that's
right .. you're too STUPID to be able to do that. Shame.

Jeckyl

Hold on - something not quite right there surely:

And then...

[quoted text, click to view]

So, he did in fact send the info you needed. These forums are riddled with
posters who simply can't be bothered to do any basic research to help
themselves before posting, and it gets frustrating, hence I think the link.

Well, I'm obviously going to lose a lot of sleep over that one...

Yes I did .. that page took you to the pages you need, with the

And you needed to be told that? Obviously you really ARE an idiot who is
too dumb to help yourself. With your bad attitude, I don't think anyone
will be interested in helping you any further.

Jeckyl

Jecky, I'm not the one with the nasty attitude. People on this forum are
supposed to be here to help and all you can manage to do is call people dumb.
That's all I need to know about you to know that you think you are better than
you really are and that I need not waste any more time on you. Good riddance!

No Peter, maybe the page he sent comes up differently on YOUR computer than
mine, but there were no links ??PERIOD!!!! All it said is that I'm too stupid
to find this on my own. That's it. I'll say it again in case you DON"T GET IT.
No LINKS!!!!!!!! NO HELP!!!!!

But I'm finished with you two. It's obvious that you are both under the age of
24. Your maturity level says it all, as well as your HUGE egos. I've work with
plenty of the young crowd to know that they have huge egos, think they deserve
HUMONGOUS paychecks, but yet they have zero work ethic, and zero interpersonal
skills.

I'm not saying all, but a good majority. Guess which category you two fit in .
.. .

Did it ever occur to you guys that I did a lot of research, but finally came
here because I didn't find what works, and thought that maybe somebody NICE
might know the answer and help me out? Guess I expected too much, at least from
you two . . .

Imalicksmith,

I don't know how old you are, I'm considerably older than 24, and I really
feel that those two do a great job here are not stubit and quite well behaved.

I don't think that there has been a single day in the last month where at
least 2 posters asked about "active-content-update" problems. I starded
Ignoring them, because it isn't really that hard to find that.

I see that the link was somehow broken with me too, but Jeckyl is reall
spending a lot of time here helping others, and even if the humor he used on
you might not apeal (which I can understand) you really should reconsider your
position.

Regards

Yeup .. too stupid to read the page that says it will auto-redirect you to
the site you should have gone to, and opens up Google with the search
results that give you all the results you need.

You've just (yet again) proved the point that you both have no sense of
humour AND stupid.

[quoted text, click to view]

You're full of sh*t. Get a life and lighten up

[quoted text, click to view]

If you had done any amount of reasonable research you would have found all
the information you needed .. You are obviously too stupid to research
information .. I'm surprised you even found this forum.

Thanks 2m

I'm afraid I'm not (now) being too nice to imalicksmith (what a name) .. I
don't tolerate fools lightly, and I give back as good (or bad) as I get. I
guess that comes from having to deal with such fools for so many years ..
its usually just not worth the effort (but they are entertaining to read
when they start carrying on like this). I'd rather spend focus my good
manners and helpfulness on those that appreciate it and respect it (and have
some sense of humour).

Jeckyl

The site redirects just fine .. maybe you didn't wait for the 15 seconds
before the redirect happens.

Gees .. you guys need to lighten up and get a sense of humour.

With the hundreds of people I help here on these forums, I think I deserve a
little bit of lighthearted humour .. especially when the humourous site also
takes you to the answers you need.

[quoted text, click to view]

Yes .. some people just post to take a shot at someone else .. let see how
many posts you've made here .. hmm .. just look like this one. And guess
what .. it was to just to take a shot at Peter and myself.

Others, like Peter and I, spend a lot of their own time helping others here
... if you actually were a part of the flash forum/newsgroup community, you'd
know that.

Oh well .. here's another fool I guess.

Jeckyl

Maybe I shouldn?t drop in again, but I just can?t resist.

Skeetflashed, I m a bit astonished, not so much about the contents of your
posts, but about the fact that according to your membership stats you are a new
member, but try to sound like you, if not own the forum, but at least have been
around here forever.

I?ve been here on and off for the better part of four years, and whenever I
dropped in here I encountered helpful messages form Jeckyl and Peter for others.

Messages from those of us who can help due to high skills in what were talking
about here are often a bit short, as you might imagine (other than you state to
you own better knowledge ? I?m sure) we all have work to do, and try to help as
much people we can in the time we spare for helping.

I?m actually very busy but also enjoy helping others and exchanging thoughts
with others that are (more) knowledgeable in a field I am kind of an expert,
and those do not hang around the main station usually.

But if you can try to change your perspective a little, you might think it
totally natural (and a lot more efficient in a lot of cases) to post short
answers to those that can easily find them by looking around and spend a little
more time on folks that are stuck with a problem that is unique or more
complicated.

There are different t types persons around here, some better in writing (and
in socializing in general then others as it is in every community) but most of
us are the more creative types, and even if it would be the more efficient way
to have a standard message ready that says:

?Dear so and so,

We apperciale (?bla bla)?
Put you question has been answered here (link) and here (another link) please
thak a look there.
Sincerely

Me?

That?s probably what you could encounter if the poor guy answering was paid 7$
the hour and you could get his help only because you paid for it.

If I decide to answer a question with a subject that is (in my eyes) a bit
boring it is quite often because something in the posting provokes me to
comment on, other than the topic itself ? or because I see the chance of being
amusing.

It can be that my kind of humor does not sit well with the on that I?m
answering and I feel sorry, but in general the chance of having amusing
conversion in addition to help is part of my motivation to help.

Adobe sure can be an is happy to have contributors like Jeckyl and Peter here
as regulars, they wouldn?t be able to help you and all the others around here.
The are everything but the ?the bottom scrapings? of that community. For
someone trying to teach manners to others you do tend to stretch your owns
quite a bit I might say.

And those on tight deadlines (as I?m often) myself are under pressure almost
ever, because of their own shortcomings my self insight in those mostly is, I
over estimated my abilities in the first place.

Regards

Markus

PS: I think it a good thing that the OP has (wrongly) chosen this forum to ask
<b>her</b> (by the way how do you know about that?) as this discussion isn?t
hindering too much of the workings of the more active forums here. It's good
thing trying to "help" friends but real friend also do help correcting a
wrongly set course.

@Jeckyl: The site didn't redirect me either, or more like I get a google page
that stated some kind of refusal to accept the redirect. There might be
something to those claims that your post wasn't too helpful, and I woudln'd
haver complained as you claerly thried, even if i wouldn't have liked your syle
- but hen I would have had the answer. She (as we learned) obviously is/gas
been under some preassuer, so let' give her some time.

A bit of humer (to machiso probaply to be appreciated by the girls, but wisdom
to married man):

Bacal at that time) he just waits for a little while, then she does it herself

Very odd that it worked just fine for me and still does ... hmm.. maybe its
a browser issue?

strage it is, especially as the "Google error" suggest no such thing.

Under light of that information maybe it is a bit more understandable that the
op way annoyed, but also she could try to give in a bit and see that even with
the fun / not so funny part, your intention was to be helpful (as always!).

But I will stop now, before I start loosing hair to become a closer
resamblence of Mahatma Gahndi ;-) [And no offense meant there, he was after all
one of the greatest persons in history, but I lack his talent]

To all who seem to think they have their pulse on everything web and flash
related on this forum . . .

I never claimed to be a long time member here, but I'm a member none the less.
You all say that you are here to help, yet you ridicule the user. And then you
all claim that you feel the need for the amusement by doing so. I stand by my
comment on "bottom scrapings of the community". People who really help other
people don't feel the need to entertain themselves by belittling others in
their quest for information. I've read many of the other postings by users in
the forum, and most of them are getting help by people with good intentions. I
don't see any of the name calling as I see here. I came to this room because it
had a lot of postings and I wanted to see what it was about.

I'm trying to see if the Adobe forum is worth using or not and if any good
information is here. I'm beginning to think it's a waste of time, but
hopefully, this may be the only forum with this abuse going on. It would be sad
to think that you are doing it to others too, but it also wouldn't surprise me.

I think lmalck had only one or two postings here as well, but did they
derserve your abuse? I think not!

[quoted text, click to view]
typing. Doesn't matter, is irrelevant.

Apparently you all enjoy humor. We all do, but not all of us enjoy it at
others expense. I think I'd feel better about myself if I felt I helped someone
without the zingers you all feel you need to express.

I suggest you spend too much time here because you are all too jaded and angry
about all the "Stupid postings". Maybe you need a hobby. Why don't you try
stand up comedian . . . since you think you're hilarious.

Jeremy

lmalick is right. The site that Jeckyl sent her, in addition to just being
plain obnoxious, sits there and doesn't redirect you like it says its supposed
to.

You responders must not have enough work to do if you are able to spend all
day searching the web or these forums looking for ways to be smart alecs to
people in need of help and wasting everybody's time!

Amusing to people with too much time on their hands. Note to Peter, why are
you on this forum if it's just too much trouble to help someone with a solution
to thier problem? Isn't it obvous that that's what this forum is about? Yes you
gave them the answer, but begrudgingly so. It seems to me that it would have
taken you less time to just be polite and say . . . "Here's a link that will
help you with your IE problem." See how simple and easy that was?

Note to Jeckyl: It's never in anyone's best interest to name call. If you are
having to call someone stupid, it means you are insecure and I'm in agreement,
immature. And who's bad attitude are we talking about? You'd have to have one
baaaaaad attitude to call somebody stupid who has enough smarts to ask for help
from the community that's supposed to be there to help. Some of us are working
stiffs that have deadlines and don't have all day to comb the web for answers.
And we expect better from people on this forum. You should have done everyone a
favor and saved your breath. It stinks.

Again with the name calling? You haven't had one decent response on this
entire topic. And I think we have confused Good Manners with Mean spiritedness.
And I certainly haven't seen any so called helpfulness. And you know what,
Adobe would most likely appreciate it if you just didn't use their forum.
You're giving them a bad rep . . .

If any of you were my co workers, I'd have to rethink the company that I'm
working for. You certainly aren't team players. That's what it takes to get
jobs done effectively and efficiently, a team that can work together. It's sad
that you all missed the mark.

Lmalicksmith . . . it's so sad that you've had to deal with the bottom
scrapings from what is a really good community. Hang in there. We're not all
this bad!

Hello Jeremy,

I'm sorry that you feel so put of by the tone that developed here - even if I
have hobbies, a good job, a wife and two kidds I also like the "place" here and
find it sad, if somsone doesn't feel welcome here.

You claim that the namecalling was bad while taking the side of the OP - my
English is probably to bad to like the namecalling too (they yout don't teach
you the right words at school) but as far as I understand Jeckyl didn't intedn
to call anybody any names, he thought the link funny (you and OP didn't, I'm
undecided) but I'm sure it wasn't meant personal. My friends tell me that I'm a
bit selfcenterded at times, but even I wouldn't have seen it as a personal
offens.

The first personal offens was on the side of the OP, callin Jeckyl a jerk by
name, as I see it he is not!

But we will never agree on that and I don#t see anyone bleeding, so maybe we
could get back to more usefull things - that leaves me with a question:
What brought you here in the forums, and is that question answered (be just
reding - a reason to like the place) or did you forget to mention what you
looked for when you saw this thread and felt the (galant) need to help?

If there is somthing you need support with (it's the support forum after all)
give us a chance to help before you make up you mind.

Markus

[quoted text, click to view]

Got to have a little fun sometimes .. a light-hearted joke link that takes
the poster to the information they need (or at least it should do) provides
some welcome releive and most people appreciate it and are amused by it.
But then there some stick-in-the-muds that got all precious about it. Oh
well.. that's really very sad for them. You're just taking things way to
seriously.
