Click to activate and use this control - KB912812

[tektipuser2005]

Hi All,

I've observed something in web pages where there is an active control (like a Flash menu, for instance) you must click the control to "approve" it before the Flash navigation buttons will work. I've heard that the workaround ultimately rests with the website designers and how they implement the controls into the browser. How can a designer implement a solution to avoid this scenario of clicking on the control to "approve" before the Flash navigation buttons will work?

Thank you.

Except that Macromedia's is a flash only solution.
