Question

Annoying dotted border around flash objects...

Hey. In the past few months I've noticed every time I have a flash object on my browser, it's surrounded by a dotted border that causes me to have to first press on the flash object - and only then be able to use it.
So, for example, if the flash object is a menu, I first have to click inside the flash object, and then the border goes off and the flash is "activated".

Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how can I make it go away?

Thank you! 🙂

    Oh, wait a second... Maybe I got this wrong.
    I was referring to this annoying dotted box I got around the flash before I could use it.

    Were you guys talking about the blue banner that appears warning you about a "security threat"?
    Cause that's not what I was talking about...
