IE Flash "white box" on hover (Eolas) issue

Question

Hello,
I've been trying to embed a Dreamweaver-generated Flash
slideshow movie in a page on my site, and have run into the
scenario wherein a white box appears around the border of the
movie's region on the page when users of Internet Explorer first
visit the page and hover their cursor over it. I attempted to use
the fix outlined here, without success:
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
I'm a little uneasy about the massive parameter list
generated by Dreamweaver. Does anyone have any experience with
using this fix with Dreamweaver-generated Flash movies?
Below is the relevant code for the page:
var fo = new SWFObject("../graphics/indexslide.swf",
"header", "850", "500", "7", "#1C0F15");
fo.addParam("quality", "high");
fo.addParam("scale", "noborder");
fo.addParam("LOOP", "false");
fo.addParam("menu", "false");
fo.addParam("scale", "noborder");
fo.addParam("flash_component", "ImageViewer.swc");
fo.addParam("FlashVars",
"flashlet={captionFont:'Verdana',titleFont:'Verdana',showControls:false,frameShow:false,s lideDelay:4,captionSize:10,captionColor:#1C0F15,titleSize:10,transitionsType:'Fade',titleC olor:#1C0F15,slideAutoPlay:true,slideLoop:true,frameThickness:0,imageLinks:['
http://macromedia.com/','http://macromedia.com/','http://macromedia.com/'
copy.jpg'],bgColor:#1C0F15}");
fo.write("header");

Which DW are you using? If 8.0.2 or later, then the 'fix' is
already built
in. But the deconcept fix works well too.

The parameter list you show below was generated by DW? How?
