How to fix IE blocked content for flash?

[Cybertronic]

As the title says, is there an XHTML valid solution that forces IE to show a flash object within lines of XHTML coding without having the user to click on show blocked content in IE?

Please let me know if there is such a thing, thanks

I do not think there is. I am sure this is hard-coded.

if there was, everybody would be using it to force popups and otherwise blocked content lol

I've tried this solution but unfortunately it doesn't work for me

Below is the code I have currently:

<object
data="..url../flash.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
width="760"
height="602">
<param name="movie" value="..url../flash.swf" />
<param name="loop" value="false" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"></script>

What am I doing wrong?

Is the ieupdate.js file in the same directory as the calling HTML page?

It is indeed

The flash object was done by a friend of mine which I would like to implement it within my own XHTML coding. There's an odd thing which is that when my friend uses a XHTML template consisting of HTML, head, body and object tags and hosts it on his webspace, the blocked content message doesn't appear. But! If I save the .html file and the flash file, the blocked content message appears

I was actually leeching the file off his webspace so I decided to host it myself and then the blocked content message disappeared but this doesn't explain why it still does it when I have the files stored on my HDD and open it from there?

Maybe you had already "allowed" his site, so the message doesn't appear there.

Try using swfobject.

Ah you didn't say you was running it from your PC. In that case goto Advanced in Internet Options and under Security make sure Allow active content to run in file from My Computer is ticked.
