Double Click Flash/Embed Issue - 2006-06-09
Have you ever noticed that you now have to click twice on some flash animations? It's really annoying isn't it? When you view a web page, Microsoft Internet Explorer displays a box around flash which reads "Click to activate and use this control."

Due to a patent ruling, plug-ins loaded using the embed, applet, and object tags will no longer be interactive unless the user actually clicks on the plug-in object first.

From a design perspective, it's rather "redundant" to have to click twice.  If you have this issue on your site, and you're not a web designer, icona can fix this for you. It is once of those little important things to pay attention to... for the best user experience.
