I am sure you have all noticed the annoying "Click to activate and use this control" messages you get on pages with flash, windows media or other embedded objects. Well there is a way around that, using some java script offered by both Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html) and Microsoft (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/activating_activex.asp). Silly that it even exist if there is a way around it, but that is a different subject.

If you go to www.wiredneuron.com/dnn you will see that the flash at the top works without having to click first. Which is exactly what the javascript is supposed to do. However, if you click on any link you will see that the flash does not even load. Even if you click the "Home" link, this happens. Seems that it happens to evey page except for www.wiredneuron.com/dnn.

I am not sure why it would work fine on the main page but not on the rest.

I placed the following into the <head> of the default.aspx located in the dnn root:

 <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 <script src="Scripts/AC_ActiveX.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

The scripts were placed in www.wiredneuron.com/dnn/Scripts

The following is the HTML from my skin.html file:

Can anyone offer any assistance with this?

I think your problem has something to do with the url rewriter.
As long as you visit the site directly (http://www.wiredneuron.com/dnn)  the URL in the address bar stays the same.
So you can address relative paths (flash/file.swf) in that case. If you visit a page using the menu the url rewriter will change the address to: http://www.wiredneuron.com/dnn/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx
The relative paths  will not work since flash would look for the file in http://www.wiredneuron.com/dnn/Home/tabid/36/flash/file.swf.
And there is no flash file there (the same for any other object / link)
You should use <%=skinpath%> for all objects / JS files because it's a path from the websites root.

I this case it's a problem with the javascript not being found I think (put an alert("Javascript") in one of them to test).
You could try changing this:
<script src="/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
If you used the script folder in the root folder.
An even  better option is to use this technique from John Mitchell's blog because you don't have to change default.aspx and you can use the skinpath folder.

Salar,
That's a nice solution (I normally use an in-place javascript to write the object code)
I don't know what it's like for this solution but my experience with other "generic hacks" (I mean where the whole DOM is being serached) is that they slow down page rendering on the browser for complicated pages.
For example I used a behavior to correct the IE 6 hover bug (on non <A> tags, in this case <LI>)
(See this post)
It worked fine until I used it on a page with a complex tructure, the javascript takes ages to complete, since it checks the whole DOM

Timo

I appreciate that my solution does require for the whole Dom to be checked. However, any other solutions I have tried has failed. This is the only one that works on any DNN. The solutions posted by Adobe are only for static sites and not for typical content managed sites. Having said that I have not done any more research on this for a few months
