Dreamweaver Site Publish_CLICK TO ACTIVATE AND USE THIS CONTROL ERROR WHEN PUBLISHING

Hi all, recently after publishing and testing my site I
noticed where my flash files are located boxes around the files
with a "CLICK TO ACTIVIATE AND USE THIS CONTROL" pop up thing
occur, when I hover over the flash parts. Can you please tell me
why this occurs and how to remove it? It works fine on safari but
using internet explorer, there seems to be a problem.
hope u can help

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
earlier this
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

Press SPACEBAR or ENTER to activate and usee this control

Hi,
Just started using Flash 8 and i seem to be getting a border
with the following message around any Flash content i use in the
site, message: 'Press SPACEBAR or ENTER to activate and use this
control'
I never had this with MX2004, any ideas anyone, pretty
annoying on an entire flash site.
Appreciate any help offered,
Pat

just search the forums - been the "hot topic" for a few weeks
- lengthy discussions been going on
everyday as we are all dealing with this (microsoft/Eolas
patent issue). Try searching google for
"active content" - tons of information in the form of
announcements, blogs, articles, etc...all over
the web.
As a developer there are various methods using js to activate
content automatically - if you are
just a web surfer you cant do anything.
hope this helps.

"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?

how avoid th problem of getting the message below...when
there is a flash movie in my HTML file?
"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
Here is a link to find information on how to fix your website
to cope with
the Active-X active content changes:

HTML View - Click to activate and use this control

Hi, I have an HTML View in my VC App. When the HTML View is presented it has to be clicked on. There is also a tool tip that states "Click to activate and use this control". I didn't see any mention of this in the forums.
Is there any way to get rid of this?
Thanks,
Ken Murray

Hi Kenneth,
maybe you had this issue not before and then you have patched your windows system. This issue comes with a microsoft patch last year I think it was october or november.
Here on SDN is a how-to available which explains how you can remove this patch, but I think it's not recommend to remove security patches.
Best Regards,
Marcel

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.

HTM says: "Click to activate and use this Control"?

When I open my published Captivate movie in Internet Explorer
(clicking on the htm file), my cursor becomes the shape of a hand,
and there is small a mouseover that says "Click to activate and use
this Control". I am using Flash 9. I must click 1x to activiate
something, then my Captivate buttons work just fine.
What is the control I'm activating? Can I turn off this
prompt in Security settings? This will drive end users bonkers.
I don't get this issue in Firefox.

Hi pcorad
This has been an issue since Microsoft was forced to alter
the way Internet Explorer handles content such as Flash. To work
past it, you can use JavaScript. (This is the reason for the
existence of the additional standard.js file we see in Captivate 2)
You might wish to search the forums for the phrase "click to
activate" and you should find many results that explain things in
more detail.
Cheers... Rick

Mozila Firefox is always asking me to click to activate and use plug-ins like Adobe Reader, Flash, Youtube videos and other plug-ins which it never did before.

I am using Mozilla Firefox and it is now bugging me. After updating it, it is now asking me to always click to activate and use plug-ins like Adobe Reader, Flash, Youtube videosand other plug-ins. I click on activiate all plug-ins but it still asks me to do it each time that I try to use Flash, Adobe Reader, watch a You Tube Video or anything. Why won't Mozilla Firefox automatically actaivate the plug-ins like it used to do. I tried to follow directions on our website for fixing this but it did not work. I am running
Windows XP. Please let me know how to fix this. Thank you.

In the past, to protect you from [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/use-plugins-play-audio-video-games plugins] that have stability or security issues, Firefox could only turn off the problematic plugin. Now Firefox can prevent the plugin from running automatically (which prevents many issues) and then let you choose to run or update the plugin. See [[Why do I have to click to activate plugins?]] for more info.
If you'd like to Disable Firefox's Click-to-Play feature,
# Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
# Press the big button to bypass the warning.
# In the search box, paste ''plugins.click_to_play''
# In the search results, double-click ''plugins.click_to_play'' to set its value to '''false'''

I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful:

The User Tip (which you are welcome to print out and retain for future reference) seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.
