"Click to Activate" and Validating Flash

This is caused due to some object embedding issues within IE7. Below are two different ways to fix this issue from occuring on your website.

Which one you choose is up to you.

I have not tested this option yet, but feel free to give it a whirl:

Thanks to saltedm8 for posting:

The trick here is to put the image source route ( of the background ) into the code (placing a normal image into your images section ) and the text will still run - then the flash will validate.

Code:

Code: Select all

 
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="root/to/yourheader.swf" width="780" height="169">
<param name="movie" value="root/to/yourheader.swf" />
<img src="http://www.webforumz.com/images/root/image.jpg" width="780" height="169" alt="banner" />
</object>
