hi all, i just found this thread via google and had to register cause i'm having exactly the same problem as the original poster, raven80. But i tried his fix and it didn't work for me. The "Click to activate and use this control" kept appearing.
I finally decided to use this approach
http://www.amarasoftware.com/flash-problem.htm, and it worked.
But, i have another issue, in Firefox the links to the banners work perfectly (even on flash banners) but not on IE. I know that one approach is to add the link directly to the .fla before publishing to .swf but what if i'm receiveng a banner previously created by the announcer, i won't be able to modify it and i won't be able to count the clicks, so is there any way to alter the javascript so that the link is not hardcoded inside the swf?
Thanks in advance.
