active content developer center
this center is your source for information and resources related to the modifications to internet explorer that microsoft announced in 2005. these changes may affect the use of active content in some web pages. the update to internet explorer was released as an optional update to some users in february 2006.
for most web pages hosting active content, users will notice little or no change. however, using the javascript modifications detailed below, developers can modify their existing websites so that their user experience is not impacted by the changes that microsoft made to internet explorer.

user experience in the updated internet explorer
microsoft has released updates to internet explorer that changes how it handles active content such as that viewed in adobe flash player, authorware player, shockwave player, and adobe reader, as well as sun java, apple quicktime, realnetworks realplayer, and other activex controls.
active content that is embedded in html pages in certain ways will not receive user input (for example, keyboard or mouse events) until the user clicks either to activate or continue loading the control. to learn more about what types of interaction are blocked, read the msdn article, activating activex controls. to see what users experience when they view flash content with the new browser, watch the following demo:

there is a way to deal with this behavior. developers can modify their html pages so that interactive controls can immediately respond to user input. we expect that many developers will want to make content "active" without requiring the user first to click.
modifying your site for internet explorer changes
microsoft has published several solutions for updating your web pages so that your interactive content will activate without requiring the user to click. these solutions, including a javascript-based solution, let users interact with the content immediately. for more information on these solutions, see the microsoft article, activating activex controls.
adobe is sharing javascript-based solutions in the form of product updates—as well as a manual solution—to help make it easier for developers who use active content to address the changes to internet explorer. while following the same basic approach as the microsoft solution, these solutions are particularly useful for developers who use multiple instances of flash or shockwave content on their sites.
