Ok.

Lots of people are aware of… and annoyed by the ActiveX issues surrounding embedded flash (and other things) in IE. I personally have only been effected by the flash issues though so for now Im ignoring the rest.

My friend Dan pointed me towards SWFObject… a javascript by Geoff StearnsĀ (visit him at blog.deconcept.com) which can be used to embed flash without any issues.

The invocation code is a little much for sites that are flash heavy… or people who just like to write as little code as possible. Dan had written a nifty little php script to insert all the javascript more easily… even his simplified code was too much for me though so I made my own.

Read on for examples, explanations and all kinds of stuff that will make your life easier if you care about this whole ActiveX problem…
