If you're referring to the issue I'm reporting, I'm afraid your solution is not immune either. Two out of 3 of my PCs will show the "click to activate" message if you have cleared your cache and then visited your example pages without restarting your browser first. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Stearns Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 10:56 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Eolas "fix" and backspace key flash bug that's not really accurate... you can have the flash inserted as the page loads and not have to activate it. the requirement is that it's written by an external script, and not invoked natively by the browser (and plain html). it doesn't matter if it's done onload or inline as the page is loading. the solution to all of this is to just use one of the many js solutions that don't have issues like this. if you can't use javascript for some reason (which should never be the case), then be prepared to force your customers to click to activate the control.
