Internet Explorer To Stop Displaying Flash?

03-03-2006, 06:08 AM

In an coming update, Internet Explorer is soon going to change how it deals with plugins, including Flash.

Basically, Flash won't automatically play any more as far as I understand it, and instead they'll need to firstly be interaction with the surfer to confirm they want to play the animation.

This could make a large number of websites a lot more difficult for visitors to navigate and visit.

Anyway, more details here:

It's already downloadable from the Windows update site. You have to choose custom rather than express.

It's an update for IE 6. It places a box around the flash box and asks you to press SPACE or click on it to activate it.

It sounds like you'll be asked for every site, instead of just once. So in that sense it would work like the FireFox flash blocker plugin.

Sites that's use Flash navigation would probably be worst affected initially I would say.

On the positive side - it may make Flash intros a thing of the past.

I haven't played around with tools/internet options to see if it can be switched on or off, but it seems to work on some sites but not on others.

I'm not too dicked about it, but the good thing is that it takes care of those fucking annoying flash ads for smileys which shout at you and make you poo yourself if you have your volume on too loud.

They aren't doing it because they want to. This is due to a long running legal battle.

flash is great and amazingly powerful, but so many people out there do shit stuff. also, unless you are building a very technically advanced flash based site, you really shouldnt use flash for your main navigation anyway

most people won't though, so from now on we'll have to think twice whenever using Flash, or any other type of content that requires a plugin with Internet Explorer

Great maybe now people will think twice before subjecting others to their flash crap.
I`ve had a flash blocking script for Opera and Firefox for a while and it`s just a godsend.

Umm, I think this is as a result of that lawsuit a while back about automatically launching plug ins?

Sounds good to me. I specifically didn't install flash in firefox because its so damn annoying. Anyone who is using it for their navigation is an idiot anyways.

there's no such thing as common knowledge in the internet porn industry when it comes to such important factors. I do not take anything given unless I see it with my own eyes and since this is a factor that we are in position to test ourselves, we did that and found certain tours convert better properly utilizing flash. Apparently we don't have full brain

jjjay it really varies. Flash is just a media mean,how you are using it plays an important role. We have done some very impressive flash work in the past, but when we tested them they didn't perform as expected. We had to remove them. Personally I'm annoyed by java, but you can see some of the largest cam sites making use of it. I believe there's a reason for that too.

they are creating a new Flash technology, and they can't roll it out, until everyone updates to the new IE that won't play anyone else's flash..but will play the new M$ flash by default.
