This is probably an old subject but not to me! I need a program that can fix this without a lot of coding but can't seem to find one. Coding is ok but it all seems to be complicated to understand. My site is artisanwebdesign.com.
Need help,
Jim

If you're using the <embed> tag you must replace it.
Here is one very simple to implement method:
deconcept › SWFObject: Javascript Flash Player detection and embed script

Thank you LadtnRed,

I really appreciate your taking the time for the direction you have given me. Unfortunately I have tried to figure this thing out with no success.

I'm terrible at javascript, just can't get it for some reason, but have no formal training in it.

I tried to replace the embed tag with the code from swfObject but I'm lost as to what to take out and where to put the new code in.

I also downloaded the swfObject but don't know where it should go or how it works.

I feel like a total idiot but I can't leave my websites like this and I have a new one I'm working on. BTW, my site is Artisan Web Design / Index .

I have 1 flash embed on each page but no luck so far getting rid of that terrible activation click.

I hate to ask but is there any way you could help. I am most aggreeable to pay for help on this.

In any case I appreciate your answer.

Sincerely Jim Cascio, Arizona

Here's what works for me:

Make a file called ieupdate.js and paste this code into it:

theObjects = document.getElementsByTagName("object"); 
for (var i = 0; i < theObjects.length; i++) { 
theObjects[i].outerHTML = theObjects[i].outerHTML; 
}

Then, right after your .swf file (I put mine right after the OBJECT tag) on your page, paste this code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"></script>

This is a simple fix that works for the sites I've built. There are many approaches to making it to where your users won't have to "activate" the .swf file when viewing your site, but for a quick fix, this is simple and done in less than 5 mins for me.
