Problems with Macromedia (Adobe) Flash and IE - Solution

[FocusingOnFlorida]

Here at the District we have been having problems with Flash in our web pages. I did a search today and found the solution. I just wanted to share it here just in case anyone out here was using flash on their websites.

The Problem: If someone is using Internet Explorer to surf the internet and they have all of their updates, the flash will not operate until the individual clicks on it once. That means if you have say flash buttons then they would have to click on them one at a time to get them to operate. A box will show up with a message saying to activate the control. This makes the site seem unprofessional in my opinion. I did a search figuring I was not the only one with the problem and found the solution. I will post the link below.

Real geeks use lynx, or even wget piped into vi. ASCII graphics are all you need to be a geek . We even had the recent football World Cup streaming to our text consoles using ASCII TV.
