Active x problem - 'click to activate and use this control'

[pigrat]

Hi...

Microsoft released an update to Explorer in February 2006 that causes a Flash movie embedded on a HTML page to show a box around it and a popup text that reads 'click to activate and use this control'.

I've looked at the tech notes from Microsoft and Adobe, and also downloaded the latest fixes / updates for Flash and Dreamweaver that are supposed to fix this, but I am still struggling to implement this on all the other websites.

Does anyone know a quick plain speaking fix that doesn't go around the swings and roundabouts, but just works?

Thanks in advance...

Thanks for your trouble wikfx, but that was what I meant by 'swings and roundabouts'...

They don't seem keen on plain english!
