Bypassing Activate Flash Control in Internet Explorer
I am working on a website in Dreamweaver that uses a Flash
based navigation bar. However, IE makes the user click once to
"activate" the SWF, and then the user must click again on the
button on the navbar to access the page the button points to. This
makes it harder for the user to use the nav bar in IE, and more
than 95% of the client's website users will be using Internet
Explorer. I have heard about a way to bypass this, and
automatically "activate" the control.
Is this something that is easy to fix? Is there just a piece
of HTML code that I can paste in?
Thanks,

Do a search query like this "Active Content" around Adobe
site, this will direct you to the right source of support help.
At that Active Content Developer Center, where you will get
more detailed information on resolution or workaround solution to
your problem.
Hope that helps.
Cheers, Brian
[on edit, additional note...]
Also, look at Microsoft Developer Network site at this URL
below, particularly addressing IE Update issue around MS ActiveX
controls.
Have a look at this URL below:

Again, hope that helps too, no?

Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning
Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning. However, flash player is installed and enabled, but HP Solution center keeps asking for enabling and doesn't let me scan.
Any suggestion?Hello there! Welcome to the forums @yuvalyanai
I read about the issue you are having with scanning, as you are seeing a message to enable Adobe Flash player.
To begin, I would like to know some more information:
Which operating system you are running and which printer you are working with?
How Do I Find My Model Number?
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Can you make copies successfully?
Can you print from your computer?
Have you tried updated Adobe Flash player?
Can you scan successfully from Microsoft Paint?
How is your printer connected to your PC, wireless, ethernet or USB?
In the meantime, try resetting the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
I hope to hear from you, have a wonderful weekend

Fix for Flash Player in Internet Explorer Issue
I've seen quite a few people with this issue and they all
seem to have issues finding the fix...I never found a 100% solution
on Adobe's site, but I found some directions that finally worked.
Basically, if Flash Player refuses to work in Internet
Explorer for you (but works in other browsers if you've tried) then
follow the steps available at
Fix
Flash Player in Internet Explorer .
It's basically a mashup of various directions available on
Adobe & Microsoft's websites with links to all the files that
you will need to download. Hopefully Adobe can use the list to
create a fix that works.Hopefully this FAQ will help:

Flash Player for Internet Explorer has to be reinstalled
Every time I'm booting my computer, Flash Player for Internet Explorer has to be installed. I'm using Win7, 64 bits. Without reinstalling, Real Player will not play offline. However, when accessing YouTube with IE, it plays the video without reinstalling. Computers are fun!
You need to close all iexplore.exe processes; use the Task Manager's Processes tab.

Cant download flash 8 via Internet explorer 8

Using Flash Files on Internet Explorer
I have created a web site in Flash MX2004. My .swf files are
embedded in Dreamweaver and then uploaded to the web. The site
works great on Safari, Mozilla, Firefox, but none of the buttons,
roll overs will work unless you click on the browser. There is a
response that comes up that says "Click to activate and use this
control"
Why won't Internet Explorer 7 just allow the site to work
without clicking on the site to make it work. I have read articles
about IEv7 disabling flash - but there are thousands of sites out
there that work - Can Flash 8 enable IE version 7 to read my .swf
files like .htm files?
Thank YouThere is one of two things you can do. Search Adobe for a
download patch/fix for Dreamweaver, or for Flash. There is one for
each program, and it fixes the issue you are describing.
You can also search "dreamerweaver activex fix" or "flash
activex fix" -
Can't install the Flash Player for Internet Explorer
Hi.
Today, I started noticing my videos were stuttering a lot (something that doesn't usually happen on my computer) and I thought my Flash Player was glitching out, so I uninstalled it and deleted the registry keys for it via Iobit Uninstaller. I restarted and then re-downloaded the player.
The Firefox/Chrome/Opera etc. version installed smoothly and now works perfectly fine. In the case of the Internet Explorer installer, however, it says that a newer version of the player is already installed.
I'm using Windows 8 (64-bit) and IE10; from what I've been reading, IE10 comes with a pre-installed Flash Player. The problem is I don't seem to have it anymore. It doesn't show up in my IE Add-on list (http://i.imgur.com/mkm4JQf.png) and whenever I try to watch a video or something that requires Adobe Flash Player, it says I need the player.
Things I have tried so far:
downloaded the Adobe Uninstaller to uninstall the Player and then reinstall it;
checked if ActiveX Filtering was enabled (it was not);
reset IE settings to default;
installed Adobe Flash Player beta (it wouldn't let me; it said my Windows came with the latest version of the player);
ran the 32-bit version of the browser;
checked for possible Windows updates (it's up-to-date);
tried to downgrade the browser, without success (the IE10 update doesn't show up in my Control Panel's updates uninstallation screen);
tried to run System Restore (it failed; it said my antivirus had to be disabled, and I did, but it still wouldn't restore).
Normally, I wouldn't really mind it, since I don't even use the browser directly; software I'm using, however, requires IE (and its Flash Player) to run.
Thanks in advance.http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195540

Flash, Javascript and Internet Explorer
This is driving me nuts...!!!!!! It works in Firefox but not
Internet
Explorer.
I've got a load of gifs on a page that I want to swap from a
Flash movie
using a loop.
This is the Javascript I'm using:
function blankAll(x){
document[x].src="images/splash-link-arrow.gif";
And I'm calling it in Flash using the following action
script:
function blankOut(){
for(x = 1; x <= _root.allBranches.length; x++){
getURL("javascript:blankAll('"+ _root.allBranches[x-1]
+"')");
allBranches being an array containing a list of the gif names
to swap.
Like I say, in Firefox this works like a dream, but in
Internet Explorer it
only swaps the very last gif on the list........ WHY?
Can anybody help please?
Big thanks in advance,
@ndyBSorry Dan,
This has got nothing to do with the question I asked.
I know about the Microsoft "patch" and have already allowed
for it.

I am creating a website for work and I noticed that in
Internet explorer it doesn't display my text in my flash file. It
does however display images. Does anyone know why this is happening
and how I can fix it?A common cause of this is that you published your swf for
Flash Player 8
but that an older Flash Player is installed, like version 7.
FP7 will
play many Flash 8 swfs, but the text rendering is different,
so the text
won't show up.
Check this page to see what version of Flash Player is
installed:

Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 8.1)
Hello
I am having a problem with Flash in IE 11 / Win 8.1. I understand it is embedded. But I keep getting the window at the bottom of the screen saying this webpage wants to run the following add-on 'Adobe Flash Player' from 'Microsoft Windows Third Party Application Component....' I click allow and the message keeps coming back. On top of this, Flash will not work.
I have a feeling there is something corrupted. I have tried to download an update (kb3004150) and it says I already have this on my system. I also have tried to install it manually using the install_flash_player_ax.exe file, but to no avail.
What do I need to do to fix this and why aren't there other options on Adobe's site?
Thank you!!!Adjusting the ActiveX Filtering settings should help you resolve those "Do you want to allow Flash Player" prompts:
Use ActiveX filtering - Windows Help
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative. -
Installing flash player(error internet explorer)
When I try to install flash player is gives me an error message that I need to get
out of internet explorer. what does that mean?It means that you need to close all Internet Explorer windows.
If you still get that message after closing IE, check with the Task Manager (Processes tab) if iexplore.exe is still running in the background.
P.S. you must also close any Messenger applications that are running.
