RE: [flexcoders] IE Update disables Flash
Carson and I got this resolved. The problem was a non-default IE setting. Please note that this most likely doesn’t apply to 99% of users – but it’s certainly worth mentioning. If you have "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer )" unchecked in IE advanced settings – you will still be prompted by IE to load the activeX plugin. This information will be added to our tech notes and hotfix readme.txt - peter From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carson Hager Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 12:12 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] IE Update disables Flash Hey Peter, I have definitely restarted Tomcat since applying the patch.

For what it's worth, I figure we're in for a few weeks of less-than-fully-accurate reporting out there, as new people learn of the browser change.
