1. Please take a look at the solution I've working on this week : http://www.tekool.net/javascript/backtothehtml/index_en.html

This solution is really simpler. You just have one line of code to put in the header of the web-page to remove the Active Content tooltip and gray border. Even if the Macromedia Jsfl command to put the Javascript file beside the HTML is a really good idea too.

2. OK, but the Adobe fix and the tekool.com fix do not fix the javascript controls like, onclick zoom.

For example,



my movie continues to play, but no longer zooms in response to clicking this button.

thoughts?

3. What do you mean by "javascript controls like onclick zoom" ?

I suppose that you are talking about a Javascript scripted behavior that is something really specific to your webpage and your Flash animation.

With mine or Adobe method, if this is a script that communicates with Flash you surely only need to give an ID to your animation.

If you are talking about something other, please give us a link.

versus
www.visinno.com/chad/familyroom.html

familyroom1 has the Adobe fix applied and the buttons no longer work.

familyroom does not have the fix. the buttons work, but the movie has the annoying gray box and click to activate.

I'd like to have no gray box AND the buttons work, but it seems inobvious to me how to make this happen.

5. I have to say I was very excited to see the solution that was posted here last week, however I take a look at it today and the solution has changed.

I have tried the Adobe/Macromedia fix and it is not a feasible fix for more than a few pieces of content that the developer controls.

I am looking at updating over 24,000 pages with flash elements in them. The method posted last week looked very possible as a "search and replace" but having to edit each and every specific tag is next to impossible.

To be perfectly honest I can't see why Adobe/Marcomedia has not released a more comprehensive fix for this issue. I know plenty of folks are just blowing it off but this is a major issue and a fix is needed for all user levels and all content not just new content created by experts.

Is there any other direction that can be provided as to the possible solutions.

Thanks

6. I would like to edit my comments from above. Tek had updated the solution so that it will work via an instert via the tag. For developers looking to update a significant number of sites or host files this method is the only one I have found that keeps the previous code entact and allows for a simple search/replace effort.

Tek this solution is right on the money. THANKS

7. Hi Tek,

I am not a professional web developer and still use Dreamweaver 4 to update my website. I have followed this chat with interest, and in the hope of finding a solution to this problem.
I have tried the solution offered, and inserted the tag on this page: http://www.appraisal-smart.com/structure.htm. But I still get the old problem. Can you advise me where I am going wrong please. That will be appreciated!

William
