I created a flash button. In ff it works awesome but in ie you have to click the button before the rollover will activate..... in the alt message i get click to activate and use this control.

any thoughts?

so far my choice is to to fix it or go to a image for the button. I don't want to do that because the animation i made, the client likes but i am leaning towards getting rid of it (functionality>looks).....

thanx for the help :eek:

<div id="flash_cta"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"
width="275" height="130" id="globe_header" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="movie" value=".swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#333333" />
<embed src=".swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
bgcolor="#333333" width="215" height="110" name="globe_header" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />

</object><script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"></script></div>


and the ieupdate.js

theObjects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for (var i = 0; i < theObjects.length; i++) {
theObjects.outerHTML = theObjects.outerHTML;
}

cleared the problem right up. found this is the fix that macromedia came up with.
