If I embed an object (such as a Flash movie or video player) in your web page, I notice that Internet Explorer does not automatically activate the object when you visit the web page. Instead, you will get a message when you hold your mouse over the object, saying "Press SPACEBAR or ENTER to activate and use this control".

Is there a solution or at least a workaround?

Hi

This is a common problem, its caused by a security update in internet explorer. Fortunbatley there are many workarounds and the problem is very well documented all over the internet (just search google)

alternatively you could also paste the code in red below into notepad and save as something like iefix.js

theObjects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for (var i = 0; i < theObjects.length; i++) {
theObjects[i].outerHTML = theObjects[i].outerHTML;
}

upload this file with your skin and then add the following code directly below your flash/activeX object.

<script type="text/javascript" src="iefix.js"></script>

This should fix it.

Kind Regards,

SWFObject is the best thing i've found - Microsoft and Adobe use it on their sites to embed flash content, so you don't have to activate the control

It's extremely customisable, even being able to manipulate variables to pass onto flash etc
