I installed the update to check this out - I can confirm the behaviour
described before: basically the activation means an additional click on
every SWF before it can capture certain key and mouse events.
There are ways to have the controls automatically activated (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/activating_activex.asp)
but they involve Javascripting your object tag (using innerHTML or
document.createElement - a simple document.writeln won't do obviously)...
I don't know if this will really be a major problem, but there are
certainly cases where you don't want to or cannot script your object tag...

Don't know if you've seen it, but I just discovered, that Microsoft
lost a patent dispute to Eolas yesterday[1] and Microsoft has since
created a voluntary update for IE6 and also embedded the new
behaviour in IE7.[2]
Sorry all, it seems to be "old" news (December 2005), so maybe it
isn't an issue after all.
Ah, the new development is, that MS has finally shipped this new
version of IE[1] with these changes. So it will be a problem from now
on.
