Why Do I Have To Click To Activate Flash Control.

[Guest]

I am having a problem using internet explorer with flash , everytime i want
to use the active controls on a flash object on my site i have to click on
the flash object to activate it, then click again to use the controls
embedded in the object. i have tried this at other housholds , and the same
happens, and it works fine in FireFox. is it the way i am exporting the flash
object or is there a general problem with IE. the place it is happening is at
www.ecfm.co.uk

Thanks,
Josh

It's because of a Windows Security Update: KB912812.
Uninstall it from the Software-tab in the Control Panel.
And at the Windows Update website you better disable
this update else it comes back as a automatic update.

Hey guys.

We've developed a solution for this issue that can be applied to a

We're preety annoyed with the problem so we decided to make it as easy
as possible for other people to solve it as well.
