FN-FORUM: Press SPACEBAR or ENTER to activate and use this control

date posted 14th May 2007 13:57

Hi everyone,

I've not used Flash for a while and I was dismayed to find out about
the latest IE security update which causes embedded objects to require
activation before they will work. There's a nasty outline around the
movie and an annoying message that pops up "Press SPACEBAR or ENTER to
activate and use this control" before the links in the .swf movie can
be used. Have a look at:

I've done some Googling and found some methods for getting around the
problem, but none seems to work in all browsers/platforms.

What have others used to get around this one?

Best regards,

Ray
