Hi Folks,
When I attempt to view KM movies a dotted box appears around the movie and I have to click to remove it before I can use any of the links or actions in the movie. Does anyone know why? Does this have to do with my security settings? Thanks for any insight that can be offered.

Thanks for the response-What a headache!
Perhaps we need some lateral thinking on this issue (apart from upgrade IE to firefox or anything else...)
If it is say a flash based site then one solution would be to link directly to the flash file(s) rather than embedding in a html page.
Another solution would be to use 'Iframe' again pointing directly to the flash....iframe may not be particularily standard but neither is the recent IE change.
I did come across this being used in a php page...
<embed src="yourflash.swf" height="yyy" width="xxx"></embed>
which I changed but yet it seemed to work as is!
You can try it here

as I dont have IE or xp to verify its behaviour...may or may not work.
Active x is a bit of a security nightmare anyway and having to involve a pile of (secure!) javascript seems simply ludicrous, and the whole of the web authoring community having to do a major re write for the sake of microsoft sulking prompts me to find the simplest solution possible fr the time being until commonsense prevails.

It's a real mess...no doubt. Like Bret said in another post, this affects all Active X so it's not specific to flash. Many a frontpage website is having nightmares alone. Better to stand back...stick to coding what we know....deal with a workaround if our flash is on a production server and try to let the big boys work it out. Bob holding back on html export schemes is smart and thankfully others will eventually end this problem. It's the talk of the town as you all know. Someday we'll all be laughing looking back....I hope.
