I have a swf file that uses some activeX in it and I would like to know if there is any way around that stupid warning that IE will keep popping up to block the script.
Is there any was I can get past this without taking away the ActiveX?

I don't think that's stupid warning... How does the user know if your script is reliable or not??? There is no way of knowing it...

I do understand why you are saying that though... There are times that we, as a developer, requires certain functionalities and they are blocked... and I don't think there are good ways of getting away from that restriction... At least, I have not found one yet... :(

I understand what you're saying about the warning, but how can anyone REALLY know for sure if the script is okay or not. Basically you're just going to right click on it and allow it once and if it's okay then you know from then on.
The advantage to that is that some people wouldn't be aware of ActiveX running behind the scene so it does give them the chance to close the entire page. However, if you are the designer and you know for sure that there is nothing malicious about the script it's a shame that the page will prompt the user every time about the script.
Sort of kills the smoothness of a page....
