Flash and "click to activate"
Is there a good way to embed Flash content and have it so the user does not have to "click to activate" the Flash movie in IE. Normally I use the javascript supplied by Adobe with no problems, but I am only getting a blank movie when used with the CMS. If I use only the embed tag everything works fine, but of course the user must "click to activate" the movie. Any suggestions?

RE:Flash and "click to activate"
I created a simple webpart that uses FlashControl from http://www.flash-control.net/. Its only $5.00 and well worth it. This control solves the IE click to activate issue. In my webpart, I simply have the user provide the URL to the flash file and the webpart builds up the flash tags automatically, again also solving the click to activate issue.

Quick solution so users of the CMS don't have to worry about the javascript stuff.
