How do we avoid "Click to activate and use this control" message and the white frame around flash sections of my site when viewed in IE. I work with Dreamweaver8 and incorporate swf files from flash Pro8.
Thank you.

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made last
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash, Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2, the fix is already built into DW's
interface.
