Can anyone tell me why I am getting a border around my swf
file with it is imbedded on a Html page and displayed in Internet
Explorer on a PC?
The swf acts as a link, (pointer becomes a finger), and when
you click once in the swf area, the border disappears and the swf
file becomes active and all other links are working .
See f.ex.
http://www.soundoil.com
I am not getting this when viewing the site in other browsers
or on the Mac.
I use Golive CS and Flash MX.
It looks like this is an IE issue. Do you know of a
workaround?
Thanks on beforehand

Oh god .. here we go again .. Obviously someone has been
living under a rock
or on a deserted island for a few months 
This is due to Microsoft IE changes required to avoid
infringing the
(stupid) EOLAS patent. It applies to all Active-X control
that can interact
with the user.
If you are viewing a web site, you cannot really do anything
to fix it,
except complain to the web master
Here is a link to find information on how to fix your website
to cope with
the Active-X active content changes:

mozilla works fine – no need to activate content.

Thank you Jeckyl.
It may be over my head, but I will try it.
Can you fix my only partially loading dynamic scrolling text
as well?
ggaarde|||
Hi Jeckyl and who ever can help
I tried to follow directions described on your link
http://activecontent.blogspot.com
My page is called
http://www.soundoil.com/indexjava.html
Please check my source code in IE
As you see it did not eliminate the border in IE
I uploaded the Java file eiupdate.js to the root folder of
the site (same level as the indexjava.html file.
The js file was not created in the script editor as it places
the code directly in the source for the page. I used the simple
text editor in Golive to create it.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks on beforehand.

> What did I do wrong?
You forgot to use your brain.
You directly put
<script
type=”text/javascript”>startIeFix();</script>
<object …
etc etc
</object>
<!– –><script
type=”text/javascript”>endIeFix();</script>
into your file AS IS !!! followed by your existing
<object> tags
… with a little bit common sense you would realise that
where it says
<object …
etc etc
</object>
is where your existing object tags go.
That is .. you put
<script
type=”text/javascript”>startIeFix();</script>
before your existing object tags
and
<!– –><script
type=”text/javascript”>endIeFix();</script>
after them.

I’ve noticed, not just in this thread but all the other “10
billion threads about this,” that every single one of the fixes for
this problem are oriented towards webpage developers — not for the
internet user. Forgive me if these forums (unbeknownst to me) are
actually dedicated solely to web developers, but I’d still like to
find a solution somewhere for this problem.
An example of the problem I’m facing. The average Joe (such
as myself) is browsing around webpages (including, for example, the
webpage for my online homework) that haven’t implemented a fix for
this problem …. Thus, for every ActiveX control, forcing me to
click it first before being able to use it. Just seeing this once
isn’t a big deal, but when it comes down to doing a slew of
frustrating homework problems, and being forced to do an extra
click at least once for every single problem … that just becomes
one extra irritant. And it’s a problem on a lot of other webpages
too.
I obviously can’t use the “fixes” provided in these topics,
because they’re
coding fixes; I can’t very well go in and alter commercial
webpages. Of course, I could go and demand the Tech Support guys
for
every webpage I visit to adjust their websites and make
accomodations for this problem. But that seems like a dumb choice,
especially if there’s a solution of some sort. Maybe a downloadable
update, or an option in Internet Explorer’s settings. Is there
anything out there for the
user to fix this problem? Or am I SOL? Perhaps I just need
to “suck it up.”
Thanks in advance.|||
Fix for web users: view sites using Firefox.
That’s it.|||
Not really a solution for the person designing the web page
so that the vast
majority of people who use IE can view it without having to
click.
Especially when a solution is not very difficult .. a common
javascript file
and a couple of lines of html tags.

right – but Nickel55 was replying to zerstoerer who was
asking how to avoid the active content issue
as a non-developer
I can’t think of any other way other than to not use IE and
choose FF instead.

Not according the the threading .. it says he was replying to
the original
poster (just as it shows you replying to me)
Anyawy .. my response still stands that for web developers
(ie like the OP
here), that’s not a helpful suggestion.

If clicking is REALLY that much of an annoying issue that it
makes you swap
browsers .. then that’s a solution for the web viewer.

So, Jeckyl
You’re the man.
When following your direction the frame disappears.
I really appreciate it.
Using my brain may not be as easy as you think.
Sincerly,
