I have a flash menu that has been affected by the recent Internet Explorer update. When users click on the menu the first time, they see the tool tip that says "Click to activate and use this control." Can anyone tell me how to modify my skins to allow the menu to function normally - so users don't have to click on the menu twice?

Thank you!

This is a IE6 thing with the way controls are losed and run.  MS will either have to unpatch (not likely) or Macromedia will have to release a patch for either the player or the program its self I'm not sure which. 

I'm pretty sure Macromedia (Adobe) has released something already but you might have to recompile your Flash menu or require your users download a newer version of the player.

MS isn't doing this to be a pain. They got sued. Here's the full scoop...  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/01/15/microsoft_loses_521m_eolas_patent/

Macromedia's method of repairing the problem:  http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html

I found a relatively easy way to deal with the flash problem:

There's an online code generator at Kirupa.com that allows you to input your filename and size, then it generates code to replace the object/embed tags in the .ascx file.

You still have to edit the code to add <%= SkinPath %> to both paths, download the javascript and put it in the same directory as the skin.

An example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= SkinPath %>flashobject.js"></script>

<div id="flashcontent" style="width: 770px; height: 66px"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new FlashObject("<%= SkinPath %>headerflash.swf ", "animationName", "770", "66", "6", "#FFFFFF");
fo.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "sameDomain");
fo.addParam("quality", "high");
fo.addParam("scale", "noscale");
fo.addParam("loop", "false");
fo.write("flashcontent");
</script>
