Does anyone know a simple solution to prevent the grey “Click to activate and use this control” box from appearing when user puts mouse over Flash elements imbedded in Dreamweaver?
Thanks you.
extract the .js file inside and copy to the root directory of your site
Then attach this code before your </head>:
<script src="VM_FlashContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
IE does this when it sees the <object> and <embed> tags which, is the standard way of inserting flash media, so you need to modify that code as follows:
Ordinarily your code would look something like this:
<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" ...>
<param name="flash" value="flash.swf">
<embed src="flash.swf">
</embed>
</object>
This now becomes the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
VM_EmbedFlash ( 'codebase', '
This will obviously only prevent that daft message displaying and the box appearing if your visitor has javascript enabled, however, so on the off chance that they don't just wrap up your original code in <noscript> tags and place it below the newly modified, for example:
