Pop-up error on flash pages

Question

My OPS - Windows XP SP2
My Browser - IE Explorer 6
My ISP - Road Runner High Speed
My Macromedia Flash Player Version - 8.0.24.0
ISSUE:
I am receiving a small popup error as certain web pages that
use flash are loading up ... not all flash pages, but some,
including my homepage which is "www.rr.com"
The popup appears briefly, only as the page is being loaded,
and it reads as follows ... "Press SPACE BAR or ENTER to activate
and use this control"
After a second or two the page is fully loaded and the popup
quickly disappears, however there is a broken-lined box which
surrounds the flash section of the page and if I enter that section
{flash} with my cursor I receive a similar message which reads ....
"Click to activate and use this control"
Only if I left click my mouse or hit SPACE or ENTER on my
keyboard can I access the flash sections of said page ... so for
example, if I were attepmting to access a flash link on said page I
would need to left click twice, once to "activate and use the
control" and one to access the link ... or I could hit my SPACE BAR
or ENTER prior to clicking the flash link and then it will be
activate, thus only one left click on the link will suffice
I have also encounted this same popup at the mcafee homepage
... us.mcafee.com ... when I push my cursor into a flash section of
the page I receive the same small popup, "Click to activate and use
this control"
I have been a flash user for quite some time, on this very
same PC, same OPS, same Browser, same ISP, and I've even had the
updated version of flash player for at least a month {8.0.24.0},
yet this trouble has appeared out of the blue only two days ago and
I cannot fix it
I have tried a number of fixes ... I have even used the
uninstall utility for flash player as provided by your website, and
uninstalled my browser, then reinstalled both to no avail, same
issue continues to occur on certain flash pages {but not all},
including my homepage
PLEASE HELP
Thanks You,

Here's the fix!!
Change your flash objects(embed) to external files that use
javascript to write the tag. Like so
var oeTags = '<object classid="clsid
27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="812" height="565" >'
+ '<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"
/>'
+ '<param name="movie" value="dyna_main.swf"
/><param name="quality" value="high" /><embed
src="dyna_main.swf" quality="high" width="812" height="565"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>'
+ '</object>';
document.write(oeTags);
name the page whatever.js
on you htm page include it with a script tag, like so
<script src="/whatever.js"></script>
It works
