Need to click to activate Flash...

Does anyone have a work around so you don't have to click the
flash to start. Like on my Captivate I have a click box on the
first screen. You need to click that box to advance to the next
screen, but you need to click it first to 'activate it' then again
to run it. Because I'm linking to several movies each time a new
movie starts you have to click to activate, then click again to
actually get the function to work.
ideas?

Need to click on first FLASH movie to reactivate after second window

Hi there...
I am hoping there is a simple code-solution out there to work around the following problem:
I am building a mainly flash-base website that also incorporates a couple of pages of straight XHTML for some of the content. If I navigate from my main FLASH movie, the HTML pages open on click via the main menu (in their own window, "_blank"). When I close that XHTML-page to go back to the previous (FLASH, embedded with swfObject) page, I need to click on that original page once to re-activate the FLASH content (i.e. make the rollovers visible, make the menu work, etc)...Is there any way to avoid that extra click, and to have the original page remain "active"?
I hope this makes sense - I wasn't sure how else to describe the issue.
Thanks in advance for your help, experts :-)

Thanks, but not sure I follow you.
Here's a simple example in a single AS file:
package
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
    import flash.ui.Keyboard;
    import flash.events.Event;
    public class Main extends MovieClip
        public function Main()
            stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown);
        function onKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
            if (event.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT)
                player.x += 1;   // move the player to the right
When I press the RIGHT arrow key, the player object in my FLA file moves to the right.
When I publish this to a webserver, running the SWF file from an HTML file, I have to click the movie with the mouse before I can move the player with the keyboard.
Thanks,
Ole

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.
<script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'>

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

Geturl needs double-click

Trivial problem: a Flash 8 animation which has an embedded
URL button with a geturl - whether 'press' or 'release' - attached
needs a double click to function; single-click selects the
animation itself (frame displays the 'selected' border). How pls
can I get the button to work with a single click like a normal
<a> URL ?

I think the problem you facing is the active content warning.
You can easily see that when you mouse over your flash movie
a gray border appears around it and a bubble tells you that you
need to click to activate.
If this is the case, you need to download the flash 8 update
that has a new set of templates to remove that system.
The update can be found here:

Firefox freezes frequntly. I need to click any other software window then go back and the ff window is active again

Firefox 3.6.12 freezes up continuously even after pc restarts and virus scans. If i click on anything in Firefox then I need to click on any other open program window and return to Firefox for me to be able to take my next action in Firefox.
just to go get "trouble shooting information" copy and paste t below, I had to click on media player 5 different time to keep reactivating Firefox to complete the process

Does that happen only on web pages that are running a Flash presentation? <br />
When Flash "steals focus" from Firefox, you need to click outside the Flash presentation in the browser window, to regain focus in Firefox. A major problem arises when the Flash presentation is in the entire browser window, though. The Firefox developers are working on fixing that in Firefox, but it doesn't look like a fix is going to make it into Firefox 4.0, though.

Remove need to click on flash header to activate

Can anyone give me a site address that has a javascript call
to bypass the "Click to activate this control" when a page with a
flash header loads? I have tried using the examples shown on Adobe,
but I'm doing something wrong. Would like to se a page with the
script call in the code so I know how to place it.

Sorry...got frustrated but searched further for
info....Thanks

Need to double click to activate

On my mac, in order to activate a link or other object, I need to click twice: once to select, then again to activate. Is there any way to be able to click on something and use it using only one click?

I also have this problem on my Mac.
I've been watching videos on Youtube all week, and it just started acting up today.
Now when I go to a Youtube video, say for example this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRdCoXI6Hq8
...and I want to pause the video, I have to click on it twice.
Once to select it, and again to activate the pause button.
Normally I would only have to click once to pause the video.
Now I'm just guessing at this... but perhaps the reason lies with this:
"Flash Player 10 upload and download requires user interaction"

Flash "click to activate"

How do you deactivate the "click to activate" message that
appears with Internet Explorer on all of my Flash objects?

How do you deactivate the "click to activate" message that
appears with Internet Explorer on all of my Flash objects?

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'''

Content Pane: Help getting rid of "Click to activate this control"

I know this came up a long time ago when IE
changed--Flash/swf content needs to be clicked to be activated
first. I thought Robohelp 6 would address it, but not.
The challenge: Cannot use the fixes publised because the html
pages created by Robohelp, like the Content pane, are generated
with Javascript. Ironically posted solutions use Javascript to
change the Embed, object, etc. tags! And I don't know Javascript!
The entire Content pane needs to be clicked first so you can
click an item in the contents. Its html file seems to be
wf_master.htm and when you look at the code, the tags are fed in
like this:
// Build tag to document.write
strObject = "<OBJECT
classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' codebase='
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0'";
strObject += "WIDTH='100%' HEIGHT='100%' id='masterSWF'
ALIGN='' VIEWASTEXT>";
strObject += "<PARAM NAME='movie'
VALUE='wf_master.swf'>";
strObject += "<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>";
strObject += "<PARAM NAME='menu' value='false'>";
// FlashVars for Object tag:
strObject += "<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE='" +
strFlashVars + "'>";
strObject += "<EMBED src='wf_master.swf' quality=high
WIDTH='100%' menu='false' HEIGHT='100%' NAME='masterSWF'
swliveconnect=true ALIGN='' ";
// FlashVars for Embed tag:
strObject += "FlashVars='" + strFlashVars + "' ";
strObject += "TYPE='application/x-shockwave-flash'
PLUGINSPAGE='
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer'>";
strObject += "</EMBED>";
strObject += "</OBJECT>";
Adobe's solutions 1 or 2
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/
assume you have regular html files.
*Question/request:
1) Has/can someone come up with a way or code (or function?)
that can be added somewhere centrally (in a key file) so when
robohelp renders the above html tags are replaced therefore
eliminating the need of clicking the swf content to activate it?
I don't know how Robohelp renders to help me find the file
where a change like this can be made.
2) Or can the output Javascript file be modified?
Robohelp seems to ride on Javascript and the 'solutions' are
in Javascript. I can't believe RObohelp developers have not
addressed this with the Robohelp 6.
I upgraded to Robohelp 6, use Robohelp HTML, publish using
FlashHelp, and my users use IE,

just search forum - this has been discussed almost everyday
since the issue surfaced a few
weeks/months ago - in fact somebody actually posted a link to
an article explaining it 11 minutes
before you posted your question
Subject: IE Changes Due: What you can Expect.
It's not a flash issue - it is an Eolas/Microsoft issue. Also
google around - tons of articles on
news sites about this and also on adobe and macromedia that
explains it all.

Click to activate question what just happened

The official solution as posted along long time ago is to
create an external js file with a function that document.writes out
the embed stuff.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html
Today someone here did a solution where they just wrote the
document.write calls right inline of the page. How is this possible
when i know like a dozen different developers who never were able
to make that work. What happened? This makes no sense. If
document.write inline of the page works there is tons of wasted js
includes that i didnt need the last few years.

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

"If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

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.
