I posted a link to a fix for exactly that on the Flash board. I think the title is "click to activate and use this control".

Thanks. I think the fix has been updated although the old one works fine too. Not too many people seem to be using it though although it sure makes dealing with Flash movies on the net more pleasant.

Here's an example using a div called flashcontent. The javascript goes after (outside the div).

For the parameters: 325.swf is the flash file. 325 is the name again. 676 and 375 are the width and height and 8 is the flash player version. #cccccc is the background color. Be sure to upload the javascript file to the directory that contains the movie.

The parameters are found in the <object> code in the flash html page when you publish the file.
