Embedding Flash content
Posted by Paul at 8:38 pm
Many websites utilising Flash content are now displaying a message “click to activate and use this control”. The reason for this is that Microsoft lost a legal battle and had to update Internet Explorer.
There are ways to prevent this problem occurring, and we use the swfobject method to present Flash content (try a Google search for “swfobject” or “flashobject”). For an example, view UK removals company Simpsons website. The Flash content previously showed the “activate” message, but now has been converted.
The new Internet Explorer Version 7 does not change the requirements, so all site owners should check their site and update as necessary.
