• Flash button need double click in MSIE
• How to remove border/frame/rectangle around swf in MSIE?
• How to automatic activate active control?
• Rollover on swf in MSIE

After you install this update, you cannot interact with ActiveX controls loaded by the APPLET, EMBED, or OBJECT elements, until these controls are enabled. To enable an ActiveX control, manually click the control.

Solution:

1. By using JavaScript:
   • Preparing your website to handle the Microsoft changes to Internet Explorer
   • JavaScript Flash Player Detection and Embedding with SWFObject
   • Sample 1
   • Sample 2


2. By installing extension/updater
   • Installing the Flash Active Content Update extension
   • Converting Active Content with the Dreamweaver 8.0.2 Updater
