HELP: I have a frame/borderline around flash objects!!

[SHGB]

Recently all flash objects I see on the web are shown with an frame/borderline, so I have to first click on the flash object once to get rid of the borderline.

How do I remove that?????????????

yea it really sucks now I'm really fucking tired of it

[FlexxAeon]

it only happens in IE from what i've noticed so it must be a browser issue

[SHGB]

Anyone know how to remove it? I tried to google about this, found a couple forum threads about this issue and no one knows how to remove it

[Darkland]

Not that I am aware of... I too noticed it after a windows update and it just isnt flash either but videos as well in Media Player... Dont know what update causes it...

Yes, that is right. It was after one of the updates.

Makes some pages look like crap too.

Is it a security precaution with flash files? So they don't auto install shit?

Yes, it's gay and stupid, but there is a way around it:

this is because of a lawsuit that microsoft lost over the activex technology.

all embedded objects that use activex, afaik, in IE will do this. you have to click them first to "activate" them.

solution, use another browser.

Correct, this was a 'security update' of May 2006, to prevent Active X content etc from executing automagically.

Basically - anything nestled between an OBJECT or an EMBED tag will get parsed out to the 'click to activate box'.

Obviously this is most frustrating with embedded movies, or flash.

There are a couple of solutions - basically involving javascript to write the active content to the page. Adobe / Macromedia provide some of the better / best solutions that I've seen so far [simple solutions, and more involved ones]
