A couple of years ago Internet Explorer cause millions of programmers and users alike a giant pain by making users click on a flash object, ActiveX object, and java applet before the object became active and usable. Businesses, of course, cried out for their programmers to fix the problem and programmers pulled their hair out for weeks. As one of those programmers, I can tell you that businesses wont take "Microsoft screwed things up" for an answer and luckily I found a solution that works without requiring that the user do anything.
The solutions requires the use a small JavaScript file strategically placed immediately after the Flash object's </object> tag.
That's all you have to do. The JavaScript code grabs the object and sets the object's outerHTML equal to itself, thus nullifying IE's effort to annoy the user.
