great done Gizmokid2005 bro . so what is your solution suggestion :)
i am really into a big trouble. actually it is not something important but whenever i refresh or enter the site. it i make me sick . help pleasee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I'd try to narrow it down by finding the answers to these questions:
~ Is this a problem with that/those sites and their codes?
Does anyone else that you know can access the same sites without experiencing the same results?

~ Is this a problem with my browser or its plug-ins?
Can you try to access the same sites using another browser (if you are using IE, try Mozilla Firefox or Opera, etc.)

thanks for reply TurcoLoco bro,
yep , i tried with different PC and different borwsers with latest flash player web plugins but the problem is still overthere .İE,Mozilla ,Opera, Avant browser. non of them worked fine. forgive my ignorence, can the problem be with the server ?

Well, if it is the same exact site/server that you are having this problem, then, more than likely, the problem would be with the server/site.

Also checking with a friend that is connecting from a different location could help you understand the problem. Could it be the router or some sort of a firewall restricting the ActiveX/Flash plug-ins to work or work right? Could it be your ISP even?

The above are not common but a possibility nevertheless.

Hi do you still have the error if so let me know and i will send you a script that sorts it out.

The problem is that the flash needs to be given focus. This then clears up two items; one) the dotted line around the flash movie and the click to activate message and two) it allows the mouse events to fire.

You can get around this by using java script that runs when the page load completes.

If you know a web designer worth anything they will know about this and have a script available.

Hope this helps
