Flash movie confusion in a browser
|

| I have put a few movies in a website, one strictly for the opening splash page
and the other works as a simple picture engine for various choices. The weird
part is it works fine in my IE, and relatively well on my two friends IE's but
with one subtle change. In there browsers it has a shaded border that loads
around it (which looks like a medium gray border, while it is supposed to
remain borderless ). Oddly when you first click on a selection in the picture
engine movie on thier internet explorers it centers the browser to the flash
movie yet doesn't do anything else. You have to click it a 2nd time to unlock
the engine it seems. Anyhow, I was wondering if this is something people are
familiar with as I only use flash casually. here is the website to see if it
does the same to you guys www.theltbgroup.com please let me know if it does the
same to you and if you have any ideas. Thank you!

| Just search the forums and/or google - this has been front page news for a couple months and several
lengthy threads nearly everyday since. Search for "active content" and you will find a wealth of
information across news sites and various blogs. Basically this is an update for IE reflective of a
legal dispute over a patent owned by Eolas that Microsoft lost. It involves all active content to be
initiated by the user first.

| Well, that is sort of the problem. I am not sure exactly how to phrase what I
am searching for. I searched google, based on "flash movie has unnecessary
border" and got nothing. Searched google about "flash movie reacts oddly in
browser" and got a million and one different results with no solid meaning on
the question I asked. I understand your perspective, but at the same time I am
not real sure what I am trying to solve. So maybe you could enlighten me since
you seem to be aware.

| oh and while on the subject of searching - bookmark this:
http://groups.google.com/advanced_g...=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
it is the entire google archive of the flash forum - use this to search for active content and in
the last 3 months there have been 115 threads. You will find some pretty good lenghty discussions
about this exact issue.
good luck.

You</a> need to create a java script file and save it to your public folder.
You will also need to update the HTML pages with some info..
Took me a while.. but quite easy in the end.

| A sensible thing to search on would be the message that appears when you
move your mouse over the movie: "click to activate and use this control"
See http://activecontent.blogspot.com for how to fix your web sites that use
flash.
