Click to activate and use this control
Sorry if this is a lame one - i was surprised not to find a post about it :-/
When using IE on the following site:
http://64.78.32.215/GES/In_Cold_Blood/index.html
my Flash elements ALL require either the Spacebar be pressed or a mouse click to activate them. Now the only Flash element that is actually a control is the Menu at the top, the rest are simply video. When using Netscape or Firefox, the elements are active from the start (as i would want them) and no white boxes appear around them during mouseover.
What am i missing here - I want IE to behave like Netscape does in this case and not require a click to activate nor display the white outline box during mouseover of an inactive component.
here is the code for the menu:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="../Flash-Menus/micr
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#005500" />
<embed src="../Flash-Menus/micro_
</object>
Thanks all,
Tom
