Those of you who have been found of putting up interesting controls on your web pages might have come across the ‘Click to activate and use this control’ bug that occurs in Internet explorer. If you do some searching you will find a lot of posts that require upgrade and an installation of a patch. Having explored the problem my self I offer you an alternative solution:

Create a javascript function that is initiated when the page is loaded ‘onload’ event.
Create a tag with a particular id somewhere on your page [lets say "fuzzy_object" for a sake of an argument].
In your javascript function create a single string containing the specifications of your object [in my case it was an swf file].
Perform the following: document.getElementById(‘fuzzy_object’).innerHTML = concatinated_string.

This is a tad generic but it should work. If not just let me know and I’ll post a more detailed solution.
