I have been to the below articles and am still stumped when it comes to
activating Active controls for my Flash movies
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912812
and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../author/dhtml/overview/activating_activex.asp
I have very little knowledge when it comes to working with codes. I have
created several business websites for clients and I need to fix them so that
users don't have to click to activate these controls. Can someone please
advise me? I am really having a difficult time in understanding what to do.
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Corrie

First, thank you for your response. I've been to that link and many, many
others as well. Honestly, my problem is that I don't understand how to work
with code that much.
I've gone through 3 steps but it isn't working...
1. Create and place the external JS file on your site. In this example,
call it InsertMovie.js. This script needs to document.write the full
object/embed tag that was previously in your HTML file:

function InsertSampleMovie()
{
document.write('<object classid="clsid: 02BF25D5..." ...>\n');
document.write('<param name="src" value="sample.mov" />\n');
document.write('</object>\n');
}
2. Add a JavaScript include statement that points to the JavaScript file
from Step 1 to the <HEAD> section of the web page that embeds the content.
<script src="[path]/InsertMovie.js" language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript"></script>

3. Replace each <object>, <embed>, or <applet> tag with a call to the
appropriate external files as follows:
<script language="JavaScript"type="text/javascript"
InsertSampleMovie();</script>
Click to expand...

#3 is what has me stumped. Do I completely delete the swf file on my
webpage? Is that what it means when it says replace each <object>? I know
it's referring to code but if I delete <object> the swf file is deleted. You
see, I told you I didn't understand much about code. I feel like such an
idiot because I can't grasp this! And I have been to so many sites trying to
understand it all but it's just not sinking in.

That is exactly what it means - delete all the code from your *web
page* between (and including)
<object
through
</object>

In its place type in the JavaScript call.
The .swf file is not embedded in the page - it is linked to by the
<object> tag, which is replaced by the JavaScript.
