Active X workaround script

2006-04-07, 6:31 pm

Hi there,
Searching through here, I realize there are coding workarounds for IE
blocking embeded flash movies. My problem is that I am not a javascript dude
(pretty much no coding ability), so I cannot seem to implimplement these.

There seem to be 2 types of workaround, a seperate javascript, and one that
is contained in the main html page. Could someone please help me out by
posting a link or sample of the html version?

(this is not a profit website, just something fun for a friend, so I am not
taking money or work from any real web gurus here, if that makes you feel
better about me stealing anyones hard work).
Thanks in advance,
Fred

First off I haven't heard of this blocking-issue in IE, which version
are you talking about? ..anyway, this means I wouldn't know of any
workaround either..

However I can tell you that the 2 types of workarounds are most
probably both the same workaround applied in a different way.
Javascript in the html-file itself are applied like this:
<script language="script/javascript">
// your script here
</script>

Seperate javascript-files get included in the html like this:
<script language="script/javascript" src="myawesomescript.js"></script>

As you can see it's merely a matter of where you're placing your script
(between the tags or in a .js file.

Good luck finding your solution..

The yellow security bar above the main window in IE ver 6.0... "to protecy
your security, internet expolrer has etc. etc. etc." Click it and the pop up
asks to allow blocked content, and yes allows thing runs normally.

Again this only seems to happen when I am trying out my own files. I am
using flash 5 right now, and have used 4 and MX(6?) with the same results.
Is this an old version of the published activeX script????

At this point I really have no clue if this is the actual problem or if it
is somsething recent with the whole micosoft, activeX, copyright, etc.,
stc., issue that I can find out about.

This sure helps me out. I woudn't know the pros or cons of doing it either
way, but it does help.

Hey man,

After re-reading your post I recalled a problem we had not too long
ago. Long story short: for some twisted reason IE will be more strict
when it comes down to security when viewing local pages then it will be
when viewing normal pages on the internet. Local pages being everything
outside of the temporaryinternetfiles-folder.

So the big trick is to just upload your pages and see if IE still
whines about it..

PS. I should note that our site didn't have any flash included, our
situation was that IE got angry about us using some simple javascript
code which the microsoft beast of markup considered to be dangerous,
though I still think the same solution could work for you..
