Message re ActiveX?

Terry Pinnell

Using FP 2000 I had a message today I don't recall seeing before. It
arose when I'd just added a background to an existing (working) page
and switched to Preview mode:
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on
this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly."

My default browser is Firefox. Could someone clarify what's going on
here please? FWIW, the preview contained a large white square in top
right corner, above the page's top heading.

When I chose the HTML view I got the following at the top of the page:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="500" height="462" id="CoffeeCup" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="TP03.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="TP03.swf"
quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="500" height="462"
name="CoffeeCup" scale="noscale" salign="lt" align="middle"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

Incomprehensible to me. I had added same canvas background JPG to
another page previously, and the source of that was fine and choosing
Preview gave no error message about ActiveX.

If you would like to see the ActiveX (in this case a flash movie) you
need to set your Browser settings to allow it.
By default IE6 disallow all active content when viewed locally.
Publishing to a Server will fix that.
