Active Content Fix gone?

Hello,
Just began playing around with DW CS4, and have run into a
problem with .swf files. The Active Content fix for IE is no longer
there. The new files it creates in a Script folder do not seem to
solve that problem. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?
DW now installs swfobject_modified.js and expressInstall.swf
in a script folder. I imagine this is supposed to take care of the
situation, but it doesn't. One must first click to the .swf on a
webpage, in order to interact with it. Any help would be
appreciated.

Recent versions of Internet Explorer don't need the Active
Content fix,
so it has been replaced by a different script that validates
and works
cross-browser.

Wmode = transparent and Active content fix

Using manual JS Active Content Fix, but now how do I append the *.swf?

Hi all I am using this method to fix the Active Content
issue,
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html#multipleoccurrences
but now I have come across a situation when I have to append
the end of the .swf.
EG: Active content fix script. It does not use the extension
.swf
<script type="text/javascript" >
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase',
'https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0',
'width', '764',
'height', '141',
'src', 'images/footer_graphic_1_about',

'https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
'align', 'middle',
'play', 'true',
'loop', 'true',
'scale', 'showall',
'wmode', 'window',
'devicefont', 'false',
'id', 'footer_graphic_1_about',
'name', 'images/footer_graphic_1_about',
'menu', 'true',
'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
'movie', 'images/footer_graphic_1_about',
'salign', ''
); //end AC code
</script>
I need to add .swf?<%response.write qs%>" to the
images/footer_graphic_1_about, because I am passing a variable
through the .swf.
Eg: images/footer_graphic_1_about.swf?intro=no
Any help would be great.

SShould read that page two has a multistate, not multitask.

Active content fix for ad placement?

OK, I've read all about the JS fix for active content but
what do you do if you don't control the HTML container for the
Flash ad. We're new to Flash ad development, will most sites allow
us to include a custom JS script to embed the ad or do they just
take the SWF? If they just take the SWF, how do we address the
active content issue?

You complain to whoever hosts the ad .. there is nothing you
can do yourself
.. the host for the ad will have to fix their own html.

IE Active content fix breaks my page!

So I have version 7 SWF on a page, and DW8 wants to apply its
"IE Active
Content block fix" to the page, after which time, the SWF no
longer shows
up. The page just sits there bank. There had been a posting
here months ago
about a cgc.js fix, but I can't find the details on that
now...
Has anyone else run into this? How should we handle it?
Thanks

<sigh>
Upload the Scripts folder that the fix places in your Local
root folder.

Adobe Active Content Fix

Just a note to Adobe and a fair warning to those using Flash.
The Adobe
Active Content deployment fix seems to be problematic on
complex pages.
That is, any page that contains more than just Flash,
especially other
scripts. We're urging our customers not to use it and urge
Adobe to have
a serious look at this workaround. Strictly in terms of
scripting
protocol, and with respect to code aesthetics, it's an
"interesting"
piece of work and could be responsible for page hangs in some
browsers.

Active content fix

Hi people.
Sorry to be a pain with what may be a silly question.
In Flash Professional (9) how do you get to the preferences
to turn on the built in fix for dealing with those nasty borders
and the popup message when you use Flash content on
websites.........
I have had this problem for some time and I am sorry to be a
dummy, but I just cannot work it out and it annoys me no
end........
Thanks in advance
Glen Gibbs

Just publish your movie - Flash CS3 will generate an
"AC_RunActiveContent.js" file - upload it with
your swf and html in the same folder.

Active Content Fix Firefox

I have seen this asked here before but I have not seen an
answer.
I have embedded a Windows Media file into a page, run the
Dreamweaver AC fix, uploaded the Scripts to the server, and here is
the result:
http://www.fallettacompetition.org/test.html.
If you are seeing what I am seeing. Both instances of the
video play in IE7, sure you have to click to activate the bottom
instance, but it plays. In FF, the top instance, with the AC fix
doesn't even show up. The bottom w/o the fix does.
Anybody have a work around/solution? Thanks for taking a
look.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Active Content Fix Troubleshooting

Well the title says it all. Every fix I've tried makes my
flash movies, go white at the beginning. Like flashes of light.
This isnt happening on all my pages, thought, just some. Yet they
are all set up the same, using DW MX Does anyone know about this
issue? Is there a solution?
TIA
Amelia

Amelia;
The white flash symptom is usually caused by the default
background
color of white being displayed for an instant before the
movie is
initialized. It can be corrected in most cases by adding a
bgcolor
parameter/attribute in the object embed tags.

Active Content Fix in Firefox

I just updated a couple of sites with the Adobe AC fix. The
one site, with flash embeded, works fine in IE7 and Firefox (no
"click to activate"). The other site, with the AC fix, works fine
in IE&, but the embeded Windows Media Player does not show up
in Firefox. If I remove the AC fix stuff, it works fine in both IE7
and Firefox, but the click to activate is obviously there in IE7.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Active Content "fixes"

Can I now safely remove the NoIEActivate scripts from my
sites with Flash &
java applets?
Thanks for your counsel

Thanks Ken
I wasn't sure but my older IE versions were all updated
automatically

Active content removed? SWF published

Hi
When I put my flash movie online I am getting a message at
the top which reads 'Active content removed' - can anyone tell me
how to get round this? I assume it is the organisation I work for
-browser security settings...but what script would enable me to
avert this?
Many thanks
Jude

Active Content Issue

http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/temp/various-flash-tests/flash-fix-test.html
hi - go to the above. i followed the instructions and info
from other postings and am able to get an HTML page generated by
Flash to take care of that IE browser active content problem.
http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/temp/various-flash-tests/fix-embedded.html
then go to the above link. this is the SWF file placed onto a
blank HTML page with Dreamweaver. Obviously, the active content fix
does not work now. so my question is how do i get this to work when
i want to place flash content on my page through using DW?
I read somewhere that i may need to link up the JS file. can
someone help me with that? PS - i'm not good with writing JS code.
thanks.

Deaf Mike,

The IE Active Content issue is a pretty popular one lately,
as you can
imagine. The easiest, most convenient solution I know of is
to use a tiny
JavaScript application called FlashObject. -- Scratch that. I
just learned
that the developer felt compelled by Adobe to change the name
of his free
product to SWFObject. (Sigh.) Okay, so it's SWFObject, then.
And a
beautiful piece of code it is. Give it a shot, Mike. Very
easy to use.
But if you have questions, write back.

Active Content - Flash - fix for Contribute Users

Greetings,
I have a group of users that use Contribute. Many of these
users create Flash Paper forms and embed them in a standard
template. These individuals do not work with HTML or JavaScript.
Recently a security patch for IE has been applied to the
organization. This patch includes the IE Run Active Content patch.
Now, when Contribute users apply Active Content and post their
pages they get the "Click to activate this content" message and a
bounding box around the Flash Paper content.
Right now I know there are two work-arounds that fix this
problem, unfortunately it requires someone usingJavascript and
Dreamweaver (or hand coding) rather than Contribute. As Contribute
users they do not have the rights to modify parts of the template.
Unfortunately that part of the template is where work-around
javascript would be placed.
Is there a way for content providers to apply the fix rather
than having a Dreamweaver Admin apply a fix? Is there a javascript
modification that changes one of the two work arounds
(AC_RunActiveContent.js and swfobject.js). These folks are not
posting to an IIS server. They are using standard HTML templates.
Thank you,
TPK

Hi,
This should get fixed with the new release of Contribute...
