New Internet Explorer & Flash
 

As a result of the company?s multimillion dollar patent dispute with Chicago firm Eolas Technologies, Inc, the new IE patch ?released Feb. 28th?means that Internet Explorer won?t be able to directly interact with Microsoft ActiveX controls loaded by the APPLET, EMBED, or OBJECT elements without first activating the user interface with an extra mouse click.

and Use SWFObject for workaround.

good read, thanks.

This isn't MS's fault. It's that stupid company suing them over nothing. I swear the patent office is full of old geezers that think radio is some new fangeled device.

Fuck IE. I'm a firefox man now

Yeah but if you have sites with flash, you'll have some IE visitors too.

sweet, im glad they did that

The law suit is old but ppl only just noticed because of a recent update, users can just delete the update but designers best recode there sites as it will be a forced update soon, the company that sued them is saying fuck sake just buy the rights rather than screw everyone over with forced update, i just a java script to get round it.
