Apparently, MicroSoft is issuing a
non-security patch next Tuesday that could have some very interesting effects on embedded files that you include on your pages.
According to
this article,
Quote:
When visiting a page that contains a slideshow, the slideshow will start and automatically skip to each slide. But, the caption bar does not appear when you mouse over the images, the thumbnails does not show up when you mouse over the slide numbers and you cannot stop, skip or use any of the controls by clicking on the them.
Instead you have to first click on the flash object, which activates it, then you can use the interaction controls.
The same happens for any site that relies on flash for navigation. The navigation bar just sites there inactively, until you click on it. Any fancy mouseOver effect, any button, or any slider you might have added does not work before the entire flash movie is activated.

In a nutshell, if you are using Flash in your software, site designs, eBooks, etc you will want to read the about two links in their entirety. Things that work today may not work in a week.
