Mark Page found this solution: It works beautifully! 2/8/2007 http://www.geekzilla.co.uk/viewD27F7A43-5DA4-432A-A683-C8AB9D5F4CC4.htm http://www.geekzilla.co.uk/view5E1223E0-4A10-4178-8821-1DDA088EF82C.htm Activating flash automatically with javascript I find it really annoying when you go to a website and you have a flash movie or flash navigation and you have to click on the flash to activate it before you can start interacting with it. With a little bit of javascript you can automatically activate the movie so it becomes a seemless part of a website. Here is how it works: Include the javascript file you can find here: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ Then put this on your page where the flash is. Thats it! If javascript is disabled then the content of the div is shown so you can put a useful message there. There is a full breakdown of each part of the solution with further examples at the link above. 10/7/2007 http://www.geekzilla.co.uk/view5E1223E0-4A10-4178-8821-1DDA088EF82C.htm http://www.geekzilla.co.uk/view409A27F7-DA59-4BE1-BF00-936640403DAB.htm Flash Player drove me crazy ... So here's the problem. All of a sudden loads of web sites started directing me to Adobe to install the flash player that I already had installed!! Very strange.. each and everytime it installed successfully, restarted IE7, I went back to the orginal website with the flash content and... you guessed it, still didn't work. So I decided to uninstall it using Vista's unistall programs.. No dice, couldn't uninstall. So I was stuck with a PC that wouldn't play Flash, and wouldn't let me uninstall the player.. GREAT!! Until I did a bit of digging about, and as always the last place I looked was Adobe's web site.. Uninstall using the Adobe utility Of course, why didn't I think of that. :-| {Find it here}http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=1 Reinstall and it works {Flashplayer homepage}http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ So if you have this problem, I hope this helped. ;-) 5/7/2007 http://www.geekzilla.co.uk/view409A27F7-DA59-4BE1-BF00-936640403DAB.htm
