IE and Flash Issue

Because Microsoft recently lost a legal battle with a patent holder about the way Internet Explorer displays OBJECTs and EMBEDs in webpages. Microsoft then decided to update its Internet Explorer browser with changes requiring user input to display and activate ActiveX based media.
Because of this, you will see a message prompting “click to activate and use this control” when I roll my mouse over a Flash animation.
I used the Macromedia work around )see http://www.amarasoftware.com/macromedia-ie-solution.htm for full explanation and text), and everything works fine.

My question...
how to get the same type of results as the work around, when displaying a swf format created by CFCHART. The work around requires you to put in the name of the swf file, but there is no swf coming out of the CFCHART.

Any ideas?

    You shouldn't see the problem if you're at CFMX 7.0.2. See http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=9c09e3e6 if you're not.

    Unfortunately, I'm on CF6 - but I am looking to move to a new host this/next month so maybe I'll just put this project aside until then. Thanks for your help.
