Dear all,

In reference to the Microsoft Update that has caused (in my case) my Flash menu
to not work unless clicked on, and other flash files to not play that need to. I have
found and implemented the following. It seems a little daunting at first and a lot of
code, but you can use my sample to copy and paste and the areas in my code
where it applies to you.

What I did:

1) Copy the AC_RunActiveContent.js into a folder and post (I named the folder "microfix")

2) Put the script into the head of the page

<script src="microfix/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

(make sure that you have the correct path to your AC_RunActiveContent.js file)

3) Replace the object tag with the following (in my case I did the following)

Original Code:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="150" height="375">
<param name="movie" value="flashmenu2.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<embed src="flashmenu2.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="150" height="375"></embed>
</object>

New Code:

<script type="text/javascript" >
AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0','width','150','height','375','align','middle','src','flashmenu2','quality','high','bgcolor','#8F92AB','name','flashmenu2','allowscriptaccess','sameDomain','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','flashmenu2' );
</script>

Key Notes:

1) Remember to update the codebase to reflect your version of Flash (the one you use to create your files)
2) Remember to change the height and width to match, and make sure the background color is correct

Good luck all!!!!
