Border around flash movies?

[JAMIN67]

Hi,

I'm hoping that someone can clarify if and how to do something. Whenever I create something in Flash MX (menu's, sound toggles, etc) and use it on my website (which is created and updated using Dreamweaver MX), I am running across something when I (and anyone else) views the website on their browser. When I or the viewer places the mouse over the Flash component, it is outlined by a grid (for lack of a better term, its the white border that shows its a Flash movie)...and a window pops up by the mouse saying to "click to activate and use this control". Does anyone know a simple way to make these things disappear to make my site look more seamless? Thanks in advance for your help.

Here is some code that will disable the annoying double click feature for flash when using XP. This code also enables all viewers to see your flash. For example some firewalls block flash (SO STUPID) but with this code instead of using the embed tags and object tags allows those users behind firewall environments to see your hard worked flash masterpiece.

Okay here is how you do it.
Inside your main file that is calling the flash .swf.
Remove the code that you currently have there and replace it with the code that is inside the putInsideIndex.html (see attachment)
Make sure that you change the name of the movie in that code so that it opens your swf. You might need to change the width and the height too so that you don't have your flash looking like a monster.

Alright then you need to take the other file called RemoveDoubleClick.js
Open it in your editor and change the name to the name of your choosing on line 12. Then post that file (DO NOT RENAME IT) into the same directory as the main file that you edited above. Most cases that would be the index.html or whatever.

So enjoy and start letting EVERYONE see your sites & be more user friendly!
GOOD LUCK!

I have already answered this in another topic, sorry for the quotation.
Here's the fix:

This is a simple update to Flash 8 (Professional and Basic) in order to publish HTML file with the new embed code so that the SWF can receive user input immediately, instead of seeing a tooltip and activating the content manually.

(You have to install this update using the Extension Manager)
