activating Active controls for Flash

[Guest]

I am aware that Microsoft launched a new update that effects how IE views
certain controls. I have created several website for clients and many of
them have swf files. I've been researching for the past week on how to fix
these sites so that the Active controls load automatically. Even though I've
found many articles explaining how to fix the problem I am very new to
working with code and know VERY LITTLE. Therefore, when reading the articles
I just end up confused on how to edit my existing code. Can someone advise
me on what to do? One of the sites I'm trying to fix has a Flash menu on the
left side of the page. www.happyheartstationery.com
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Check out http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/activecontent/

Macromedia (now part of Adobe) has made some scripts available that can be
included into a page in leiue of the normal Flash object code. You can pass
parameters to the flash movie through a couple functions in the javascripts
that they provide that will do the job. It takes a bit of tweaking to get it
right, but once you do it's fairly straightforward.

Hope this helps,
