"Click to Activate" Problem: Active X Coding Fix Help/Questions

Hi,
I have read extensively about the "Click to activate and use
this control" problem because of MS' recent loss in court. I have
also found many links (including here) to the JavaScript "fix". I
DO NOT want to get into blame, the inconvenience, etc., just how to
fix it in my websites. Here's the code to a simple test page
referencing an SWF:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<table width="760" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><object classid="clsid
27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
width="750" height="130">
<param name=movie value="images/testmovie.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<embed src="images/testmovie.swf" quality=high
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="750" height="130">
</embed>
</object></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
What happens with the "quality=high " and "width="750"
height="130" information? Maybe I'm not clear on exactly what to
replace with the JavaScript reference, but it looks like all of
these "fixes" I have seen ignore control over quality and sizing.
Am I missing something? (Besides how to disable smilies)
Thanks all!

phtmlb:ganttchart. and "click to activate"

ok, i get the reason. the security context of the IE blocks objects from being enabled automatic. i know of several ways to use javascript to load the controls from an external page that is then included in the main page.
i use this to render things like OWC controls and the like without having to worry about the "click to activate".
is there a way to get this working for the <phtmlb:ganttchart>. its beyond application breaking that you have to activate the control, and every click in the control reloads the page hence you have to reactivate the control over and over. very frustrating for the users if your making an interactive calender control.
is there a way of fixing this that you found?

oh well. decided i did want the ganttchart rendered with the svg graphics so did a reimplementation of the phtmlb:ganntchart solution, correcting the issues with the click to activate and few other nice things i wanted to include.
if anyone wants to se how :
origianl :
CONCATENATE '<embed src="' dataurl '" height="'
              chartheight
              'px" width="'
              chartwidth
              'px" type="image/svg+xml" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/">'
              '</embed>'
         INTO html.
me->print_string( html ).
Interaction parameters
iparameters = 'Test'.
concatenate '<input type="hidden" name="'
              iparameters_name
              '" value="'
              iparameters
              '">'
         into html.
me->print_string( html ).
modified :
CONCATENATE '<embed src="' dataurl '" height="'
              chartheight
              'px" width="'
              chartwidth
              'px" type="image/svg+xml" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/">'
              '</embed>'
         INTO html.
me->print_string( html ).
Interaction parameters
iparameters = 'Test'.
concatenate '<input type="hidden" name="'
              iparameters_name
              '" value="'
              iparameters
              '">'
         into html.
me->print_string( html ).
concatenate '<input type="hidden" name="url" value="' dataurl '">' into html.
me->print_string( html ).
CONCATENATE '<DIV><script src="gantt.js?url=' dataurl '&width=' chartwidth ' &height=' chartheight '">' '</script></DIV>' into html.
me->print_string( html ).
basically i removed the rendering of the object in the page, and passed the parameters to a js page that will do the rendering for me,
gantt.js simply contains this in essense.
document.write('<embed src="<%=dataurl %>" height="<%=chartheight%>px" width="<%=chartwidth%>px" type="image/svg+xml" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/">');
document.write('</embed>');
so render the object in the external file, include it in the reimpemented phtmlb extension and voila you got a ganttchart that works without the click to activate problem.

Problem; "Click to Activate" message

Hi,
I created a map in Flash and it loads great, works great when
you're on a mac (it was created on a mac too). Though the problem
is that when the page is viewed on a PC and you rollover the map
there is a boundry that appears around the map and a text notice
that reads "click to activate and use this control". Once you click
it it goes away and the map interacts fine, but its not good as it
stands. I wonder if it's in the publishing preferences that this
can be resolved. If anyone has ideas please let me know!
Peace for 2007!
joe

That only happens when using Internet Explorer actually, and
it's because of
the lame eolas suit. You can fix by going here:
http://blog.deconcept.com
and an article about it here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/swfobject.html
I find it best to just always use it as you get version
detection as well as
very easy embedding of your movie.

How to disable "Click to activate this control" in IE

Hi,
                    When I open a flash component in IE, first of all I need to click on the flash component to activate it. Why it's happening like that? When the mouse is over the flash component, it will show a tool tip "Click to activate this control" and dotted lines around the flash component. Can I know a solution for this. When I searched, I got some javascript code, but they are not working. How can I avoid this problem? I have attached the javascript code with thread. Please make a look on it also.
Regards,
          Sreelash.S.

Hi,
          This issue is avoided in IE6 using the javascript tha i have attached. Like this, is there any javascript available to avoid this in IE6. Actually we are embedding the swf with object tag. At that time there is no problem. There is no issues with ActiveX control. The problem comes when we use the widget.

When we copy this in a notepad and save it as .html. The problem is occuring in IE6. Did you get me.

Video: Some play on "Click to Activate", some don't

Hi all
Setup:
Using ID 5 and Acrobat X
Using "place a video from an url" in media tab
Showing Play and Mute buttons overlay on mouseover
All videos are flv and in same folder on website
Videos range between 5 and 25 megs
Problem:
When viewing in Acrobat reader or in browser (IE), some videos will play on intial click (click to activate) and some you have to click on the video, then click the play button for it to start playing.
If I close out and reopen, sometimes the ones that took two clicks only now need one click and vice versa.
Any ideas why this may be hapening?
Thanks

They are all set the same. Play when clicked, Disable when "Disable Content" is selected in the context menu.
Play when clicked is the only option because I don't want them auto playing on page load.
I tried the other disable option, Disable when page containing the content is closed, it made one work right but broke one that was working, lol.
I think it is a bug since it randomly decides which one takes one click or two.

Click To Activate issue with modeless dialog popup..

I have a customer that is having the annoying "click to activate control" for applets in IE. I've been able to fix it for thier normal pages with a fix I found on the internet (why re-invent the wheel right? ) , however they have a few "pop up" windows where they use the "window.showModelessDialog" method of opening a new window. For this window, my usual fix doesn't work...
I have a feeling that it has to do with opening the window as a modeless diaglog. Any ideas?
EDIT
I realize that this problem will go away in April of 08. However a significant number of clients machines will not be updated anytime soon (as they are not connected to the internet)
Edited by: Doug Holtke on Jan 24, 2008 6:50 PM

Doug,
You can remove the Windows update that put the lock on the active objects in the first place. I don't know the patch number off hand but I'm sure you can find it.

Dotted box, Click to activate this control

Hey all, I am not positive this is a shockwave problem but
thats my guess. Whenever I put my cursor over a Shockwave or
macromedia thing a dotted box will now appear and i will have to
click on the item to activate it. Its not a problem just really,
really annoying. I am sure its an easy fix but I cant figure it
out. Anyone have an idea??

How to prevent people asking how to prevent "click to activate and use this control"

When I visit the fourms, I keep seeing these questions about
how to disable
"click to activate and use this control". Its really annoying
and
disrupting my web experience. I do know this really this is a
blatant
attack on Adobe and Flash by Microsoft and is obviously
related to the Adobe
takeover of Macromedia, and probably also related to the fact
that it is now
impossible for anyone to install Flash Player (which Adobe is
ignoring
because their support is so useless since the takeover). Is
there something
I can do to prevent these questions being posted? I've
searched all the
forums and cannot find any information. Surely someone else
has had this
problem.

"Click to activate and use this control" in IE

When using Flash forms, IE 7 surrounds them with a box and
prompts users to "click ot activate and use this control." Is this
the old Flash problem with using object or embed tags without
javascript to embed movies? Is there a way to fix how ColdFusion
embeds Flash forms so people don't have to click on them before
they can use them? Maybe it's fixed in CF 8?
I found the answer here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=1141999&STA RTPAGE=2&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear.
Not sure why this comes up in Google but I couldn't find it through
the Adobe site, this forum system really sucks i.e. slow searches
to the point of being useless.

What version of CF are you using? This was fixed with the CF
MX 7.02 patch

Hoe do i avoid "click to activate and use this control" message?

"click to activate and use this control"

Oh god .. here we go again .. Obviously someone has been
living under a rock
or on a deserted island for a few months :)
This is due to Microsoft IE changes required to avoid
infringing the
(stupid) EOLAS patent. It applies to all Active-X control
that can interact
with the user.
If you are viewing a web site, you cannot really do anything
to fix it,
except complain to the web master

Click to activate does not work after update

Click to activate plugin does not work after updating to version 23.0.1

hello Kamullia, if you have set click-to-play to true in about:config you can now go to the ''addons-manager > plugins'' section and set the permissions individually for each plugin type.

From within Photoshop Elements, when I try to open Editor, a box opens that states I must activate the software. I registered and activated the software last year. When I click to activate, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet. I am connected. How do I get Editor to work?

You would get the redemption code, or perhaps even the serial number, from whomever you purchased the software from, apparently Amazon, so talk to them. This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve sold something that didn’t have all the numbers needed to license it.
A redemption code is something that is usually on the inner disc packaging if you purchase the media in a box, and there is a barcode on the outside of the packaging that must be scanned at the checkout register to activate the hidden inner code so you can redeem it at home on that website. This is what happens if you buy PSE from a brick-and-mortar store like Best Buy. I don’t’ know what happens if you purchase the downloaded version as I have never done that.
A redemption code is 24-digits of letters and numbers that you enter into a website to get a serial number, once and only once. The serial number of only 24-digits, no letters, is what you enter into the software during the install or when you run it and it asks if you want to register or run in a trial mode—whatever the exact phrasing is.
In any case it sounds like you don’t have either a redemption code or serial number—although perhaps something is listed on the purchase confirmation or your account online at Amazon or even in an e-mail from Amazon.

Hi,
Acrobat xi - RE: Add sound icon- skin displayed is a 'blank white box' until it is clicked to activate it- can you lock skin to display before its activated so that in a print run the skin shows up (ie the controls-or any kind of greyed out rectangle, like video controls before 1st activation) and not the blank white box- if no, I guess I have to activate all sound icons before doing a print run?thanks)).

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.
