How do I show my movie without restriction

[message_in_a_bottle]

Dear everybody

thanks for helpful answers, but I have another problem.

My website includes a flash-movie, but when I preview my site in internet explorer and connect to the movie I get the following message:

"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or Active controls that could access your computer."

How do I avoid this problem? I don't want the visitors of my site to see this message every time they are about to see my movie, and I have seen several movies on the web without getting the message.

Please help me, if you have the time!

Best regards

Based on your description, it sounds as though you've run into IE's 'excellent' security system. The way around it is to use JavaScript to include your Flash file and not the embed/object tags.

SWFObject is (one of) the main JS libraries for this:

Documentation for SWFObject: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation

I'm confident that if you take this route your visitors will not run into the issue you've described. Here's a link to a blog post/article about why you have to 'activate' an embedded object (i.e., Flash movie) in IE before you can interact with it:
