Allow active content to run files on my computer

I seem to have an issue with setting the allow active content to run files on my computer in internet explorer. Each time I turn it on reboot the computer the setting is turned off.
This computer is on a domain, but there are no domain policies for internet explorer.
Any idea's why this is turning off each time I reboot?
Thanks

Hi John,
Try to re-install the Internet Explorer in the way below:
1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
2.Enter Windows features in the search box, tap or click Settings, and then tap or click Turn Windows features on or off.
3.In the Windows Features dialog box, clear the Internet Explorer check box.
Or you can follow the instructions as below:

Hi John,
Based on your description, we can try to set the following registry key to see if it helps:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN
Value Name:
iexplore.exe
Value Type:
REG_DWORD
Value Data:
0
Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Active Content warning with web player

We have a client who is using our web packaged program from a
CD and they are getting Active Content warnings and they do not
like it. Is there a way to set the active content to run when start
the CD without using the registry? They said something about doing
it through discretionary access control list (DACL) files.

I've never heard of DACLs but I think the 'Mark of the Web'
will satisfy
your need? Search it and see...

What does it mean when I receive this message in Firefox: embed-run-active-content.js

When a new screen on a website I am visiting loads, I see the message "requires embed-run-active-content.js" is this a legitimate software message or is this a sign of malware? I cannot find anything referring to that particular phrase.

Do you have any content blocking extensions installed?
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Active Content Update Issue

I hope someone can help me! Here is the deal, I want to make
a button that will open a blank page with a PDF document. I can get
it to work with GETurl, but I cannot figure out how to apply active
content update to the new page. It works fine on a Mac, but on a PC
when the new window opens I get the warning messages and have to
click the top bar and say "allow content etc.". Does anyone know
what code I can use to tell the new html page to apply the active
content update? Or can anyone tell me a better way to achive the
same thing.
Thanks

Active Content has nothing to do with performance of the
movie.
It is in regard to licensing of the player technology -
nothing else.
Perhaps the clients do not have the latest player and low in
resources
machines ? Your movie seem overly big for what it does.
Probably reducing
quality of images and sound w/o losing much of an actual
quality could cut
the file down at least to 1MB, help the playback a bit.
It could be real drainage for older machines.
The video works for me just fine so my guess is they simply
do not have
compatible player.

Active Content when RH topic contains Captivate movies

I use Robohelp to display my captivate movies (published as
FLASH).....since the Active Content issue in the latest IE update,
my users now have to click on the movie before it becomes
interactive.....I've managed to fix the topics in RH that don't
have a movie inserted on them....but if there's a movie, my fix
doesn't work unless I modify EACH htm file (each topic's code).
This works great except that EVERY time I re-compile the RH
project, the fix is overwritten.....
My fix involves a javascript include file......
Thanks.
Pam

Hi again Pam
Hmmm, well I'll see if I can help any. I'm not sure what you
mean with "fixing topics in RH that don't have a movie inserted".
What are you fixing? Why is a fix needed if a movie isn't there?
But on to the actual issue at hand. You are saying that
something is being overwritten? Perhaps it will help to outline the
process as I envision it.
1. You have a topic containing a Captivate movie that is
interactive, meaning the user must click or type somewhere to
interact with it.
2. Before the fix is applied, the user must click or press
the spacebar in order to "activate" the control. This is equivalent
to patting Internet Explorer on the head and saying "It's okay.
Really. The world will, in fact, NOT end if you just show me the
content and allow me to click it."
3. You apply the fix, which means to use an external
JavaScript file (.JS file) to perform a "write in" of the code
needed to present the movie.
4. You generate WebHelp (assuming WebHelp here, as I do not
believe this issue manifests from inside a compiled .CHM file) and
something gets overwritten?
And here is the quandry. I'm assuming you are intent on
asking either how to prevent the overwriting from occurring, or
possibly WHY it's being overwritten. Perhaps both?
I think the first step is to determine if the WebHelp
generation process is actually overwriting files. I'd compare the
HTML code of a topic that works fine prior to genning WebHelp, with
the same topic code after the generation process has occurred. What
has changed with respect to the code you inserted? Is the code just
gone? Or is it possibly an issue whereby the .JS file simply hasn't
survived the WebHelp generation process? I'm guessing the latter.
You may simply need to add the .JS file to baggage.
Cheers... Rick

"Apply Active Content Update" message ONLY in Firefox

Here's my new website:
www.ClampTools.com
When I view it in IE it looks great. When I view it in
Firefox (like for the Press link) I get this error:
This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js. In Flash run
"Apply Active Content Update" in the Commands menu to copy
AC_RunActiveContent.js to the HTML output folder.
I already did all of this and yes the js file is there, in
the same directory. Any ideas why this isn't working?
Thanks!

FIREFOX FIX FOR VS.NET 2005 USERS:
This issue happens when using Visual Studio 2005 as the
editor.
I copied the <HEAD> portion of a page that worked and
pasted it in the bad page. When saving the file in the VS editor it
gives me this message:
Some Unicode characters in this file could not be saved in
the current
codepage. Do you want to resave this file as Unicode in order
to maintain
your data? Yes, No, Save With Other Encoding or Cancel
I selected NO and everything is fine.

Convert to active content

I get a AC_RunActiveContnet.js warning when I try to run an
online Flash file. It was my understanding that Dreamweaver was
supposed to convert files to active content, or at least give you
and option. I have Dreamweaver CS3. It is not converting to the
AC_RunActiveContent.js file. Do I need an update? If so how do I
get it. I could not find it for Dreamweaver CS3/Flash9.
Thanks

When you insert a flash file in DW, it creates a Scripts
folder in your site
for you. Inside that Scripts folder, you will find the
AC_RunActiveContent.js file. Upload the Scripts folder to
server. That
should take care of your problem.

Workaround for IE active content problem?

Adobe
posted
a workaround for existing web pages to respond to the change in
IE that requires users to manually activate Flash content. I tried
doing the same document.write in an external file for the HTML
files FlashHelp generates wherever I found the <object> and
<embed> tags, but I get a script error ("Object expected") in
the lines where I call the function. (The solution worked for me in
simple HTML pages with Captivate movies, so I know it can work.)
The only reason I can think of that it won't work is that the
scripts are concatenating strings, not just showing a movie where
the <object> and <embed> tags are. Has anyone found a
workaround for FlashHelp so users don't have to manually activate
the top and left panes? I put in a "wish" for Adobe to provide a
solution on the site and later in an update or new version of
RoboHelp (which is another issue in and of itself), but who knows
when the developers will be able to come up with it. Thanks!

Thanks for asking, Mimi. Here are more specific steps:
1. Open Notepad or another program for creating text files.
2. Create two functions. For example:
function insertMaster1() {
function insertMaster2() {
You can call your functions anything you want, but the names
must be different. Note that for the moment, they're empty, but
we'll change that in a minute.
3. Save the Notepad file with a JS file extension (for
example, runactive.js). In Notepad, specify “All Files”
for “Save as type” so that it doesn’t save as a
TXT.
4. When you generate your FlashHelp system, it creates a
bunch of HTM files containing JavaScript in the destination folder
you specified when generating your output. Locate wf_master.htm and
wf_navpane.htm in the output folder. (If you leave RoboHelp to use
its defaults, it puts your help system in an !SSL!/FlashHelp
directory within your project folder.)
5. Open wf_master.htm.
6. In the <head> tags, insert a line that references
your JS file:
<script language=“JavaScript”
src=“runactive.js”></script>
7. Find the lines in the code that look like this:
// Insert the “Master” SWF
8. Highlight everything AFTER this commented-out block until
the </script> tag. The last thing you highlight should be
"document.write(strObject);".
9. Cut the highlighted code and paste it into the first
function in your JS file so it looks like this:
function insertMaster1() {
// Build up the variable string we will be sending
strFlashVars = "uniqueHelpID=" + parent.UniqueID();
……(more code)
document.write(strObject);
10. In the place where you just cut all that code out of
wf_master.htm, insert a call to the function:
insertMaster1();
That’s all you need because all that code you just
moved was already in <script> tags in the HTM file. The
</script> tag should come immediately after this function
call.
11. Open wf_navpane.htm.
12. Repeat steps 6 – 10 for wf_navpane.htm. The code
we’re concerned with in this file looks almost exactly like
that in wf_master.htm, but there are a few lines less this time.
Put the code you take out of wf_navpane.htm into the second
function in your JS file. Where you cut out the code from
wf_navpane.htm, put a call to the second function (it should come
right before the end of the <script> tags):
insertMaster2();
13. Save your JS file and the two HTM files.
14. Whenever you re-generate your output, RoboHelp is going
to erase your new versions of these HTM files and create its own
again. Copy your new versions of wf_master.htm and wf_navpane.htm
to another location (can be a folder within your output folder).
Now you have them so you can paste them back over RoboHelp’s
versions each time you finish generating your output. For example,
I would stow my wf_master.htm and wf_navpane.htm in a folder called
"drop files." Then, after I get done generating my output, I copy
those files and paste them in the output folder, letting them save
over the ones that RoboHelp created.
15. To test it once you've finished the swap, find the HTM
file in your output folder that is named after your project. For
example, if my project is called flying_monkey, I would find
flying_monkey.htm. Open this HTM file in Internet Explorer, and you
shouldn’t have any messages telling you that you have to
press Enter or Spacebar or click on the panes to activate them.
This runs from the same basic idea as Adobe’s
workarounds for Flash—we’re going to a file external to
the HTM files for the active content tags. Hope you find this
useful! Let me know if you run into any problems.

TOC disappears after allow blocked content

I have a Robohelp 9 project (single sourced through FrameMaker)
I can compile the help and run. When I view it, I see the full help along with the "Allow blocked content" message.
When I click Allow Blocked Content, my help appears but now the TOC is missing. (see images below)
I have been generating the help for the same way for a long time and this is the first time I have seen this problem.
I did install/uninstall Robohelp 10, but I have built help (albeit a different project) successfully after that
I do not really know what scripts are running here and blocked. Has anyone seen this and can anyone help?
Thank you!

Sadly, I'm not having much luck. The Chrome switch seems to work, but on IE, the file replacement causes the contents to flicker now rather than just hide the TOC. It never loads successfully after allowing blocked content.
I therefore copied the output to a web server and tried running it there. I'm seeing the same problems, which indicates to me that something is corrupt in my WebHelp build out of Robohelp.
I'm trying reinstalling RH9 now, but should that fail, do you know if RH10 would work successfully with the rest of my TCS 3.5 installation?

XML causing "active content" warning

I downloaded a free xml photo gallery code ( from airtight
interactive). Everything seems to work fine and I was able to embed
it into my html page and customize it. But when I test in IE, I get
that bothersome "active content" warning. The original xml file
when run as a full page gallery (not embedded in html) doesn't do
this. I want to have several galleries on my site and such a
warning would become a big irritant to visitors. Any ideas of how
to change my code to make it stop? (The page opens fine on firefox,
netscape, opera)

Active Content and Yellow Bar in IE

Hi there
I recently downloaded a FrontPage template which contains
some active flash content such as a menu and transition images.
Every time I open the web site in IE the yellow security bar
pops up (in Windows XP SP2). But when I visit other sites with
similar active content no bar pops up. When I hover the mouse of
the content the ‘Click to activate and use this
control’ label appears which is ok no problem.
Does anyone know how to prevent the yellow bar from
appearing?
Many thanks!
Optimanc

Hi Jecky!
This site isnt hosted yet, its still in development.
I'll give you more detail about the issue perhaps that can
help;
When the page loads up in IE the HTML and images load fine
now problem but the
main menu content which is .swf remains unloaded. The yeloow
bar pop ups to
allow the blocked content. Once i have unblocked the content
a confirmation box
appears and then the main feature is loaded into IE.
I'm just wondering could it be doing this because its
loading the content
locally, as in from Temp Inter Files but if it was downloaded
from the internet
live this yellow bar would bypassed?
Thanks for you help!

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

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.

Active Content - a different approach

I've looked around the forums and the internet and have found
some javascript code examples on how to get around the old Active
Content problem where you have to click to activate the Flash file.
But I don't see anything I recognize.
I'm fairly new to Flash, and the way I posted these swf to a
website before was to insert some goofy old code that everyone used
before this active content headache.
Part of theat old code simply had an obvious place to put the
location and file name of the swf in there. So all I did each time
was copy the code and paste in the name of my file and the
different http//: location I was hosting it at.
This is important because I have access to store a file on
my company site and to mess about on the webpage using HTML through
a silly little dashboard-type deal they allow us to use - but I
don't have the ability to store all of the wbpage content in the
same place. I have to host some of it somehwere else.
But with all the new javascript code examples, I don't see
where to insert the file name AND the location of the outside
location where I'm hosting it. There's no simple "
http://" to replace. I tried it anyway and
nothing happened. I suspect that the swf file has to be saved in
the same file folder on the server as the page you want it to
appear on, if that makes sense.
In other words, am I correct in assuming that by using a
back-end HTMl editor on the site and hosting the actual swf file in
a totally different location that this javascript method probably
won't work?
I've got no problems in Dreamweaver on my own personal
website, but I don't have access to change the webpage on the
company site on that type of scale. I can only much about with the
HTML.
Looking at the source code of the company webpage it does
appear that someone has put in the script for the javascript deal
to be activated.

Here's the old code:
<center>
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
width="545.4" height="59" id="worldtime" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="
http://images.blahblahblah.com/myFlashfile.swf"
/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="
http://images.blahblahblah.com/myFlashfile.swf"
quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="545.4" height="59" name="worldtime" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
All I ever do is replace the "
http://images.blahblahblah.com/myFlashfile.swf"
with wherever the Flash file lives when I use the code again.
I'm not sure how to translate this into any of the javascript
examples.
