    Flash help! Needed ASAP! [RESOLVED]

    If I embed my flash movie using [Embed] tags, I have to click to activate the content in IE. (which is really annoying). The work around, AC_activecontent.js from Adobe works round this fine, but then my site won't get past the preloader in Firefox.

    Any one help?! This is REALLY frustrating!

    Example:

    EDIT: RESOLVED:

    Using a Javascript browser detector, I have set up 2 different index pages.
    The Firefox one uses a standard Embed code, and the IE one uses the new AC_RUNACTIVECONTENT code.

    They both work now.

    See below.

    For anyone who needs to do something like this, as a web developer I would higly recommend you use this bit of software - it's great:

    http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/

    It gets around the IE 'click' thingy, and has great Flash version detection. You can also easily default back to HTML content if the user does not have the required Flash player installed or get them to upgrade via ExpressInstall.

    They use it on windows.com, youtube, Skype, Adobe...
