How to Stop IE from requiring 2 double click b/4 activating Flash

[vidablue]

I made a markup to put a flash inside an html webpage. Aterwards, the flash is loading fine in the html through a swf object in Internet Explorer.

But it's not showing up in Firefox or Mozilla. It's just blank. Anyone know what the reason could be? Below is the markup. Thanks.

Hello,

I am playing Flash on an intranet through a html page with a SWF object. The flash loads in fine. The problem is every time it loads, there is a message that from Internet Explorer and the user has to double click before the Flash can be used. Anyone know how to fix this?

Howdy and Welcome... :)

You'd need to use SWFObject to embed the SWF file into the HTML page...

FYI, you don't have control over somebody else's SWF file... It's the IE that's doing this...

Where exactly are you implementing the SWFObject there???

I merged your threads...

My bad, you're right. There's an object here,, but not a swf object :)
