Hello, I am new to SS and WE and i have a little problem.I created a banner using Swish, and i imported the foreign obj. by the book. When i try to preview i get the "To help protect your security IE has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX..." message. I've published a single page with flash localy and i get the same mesage. What can i do to prevent that and allow the .swf file to run when the page is loaded without the need for my visitors to "allow activeX and stuff...".I don't think the problem is my browser because when i surf the internet i don't get that message on pages using a lot of flash banners. Thanks!
I haven't come to grips with this either. For some strange reason IE6 seems to apply tougher security standards to files resident on your local computer as compared to the same files resident on the web.
Try publishing your page to your site and see how it goes there.

This message comes up for various things in preview mode, even mouseovers and hover links.
Once you publish I would be surprised if you still get the message. All of the times it has shown on my preview, once the page is published it doesn't happen.

When I publish, IE flags up the 'active X content - allow blocked content' whilst Netscape 8 does not present any problems. So many of the 'nice features' relies on active X controls but I feel I cannot use them because of this problem.

Ascii.
When you say publish do you mean to a Server, or do you mean preview, locally?
Locally my Internet Explorer 7 pops up the active x warning. However when I upload the same page to a server through FTP(File Transfer Protocol)it does not cause this problem.
I believe it has to do with allowing an HTML page access to files that are contained in the temporary internet directory.
Once they are on a server there is no problem that I have come across.
Thanks William, That problem occurs only when i preview locally or when oppening the page after i publish locally.I've used ihostVM for trial and the problem is solved indeed. As a work around, because i use all major browsers and publish locally to see the results, i've installed easyphp1-8(very friendly with newbies like me) - thus allowing my pc to act like a server and view my pages like i've published on a remote host. Works fine. Regards, misumisu

For some reason probably security, when using Internet Explorer, if the HTML file is not called from the Local Settings\ Temporary Internet Files, folder, it causes that Active X error message.
That Active X message sure is a pain. There may be a work-around (registry change?) that doesn't involve installing our own server. If any knows of one, please do tell.

Believe you me, I have looked for a workaround. I have not found one yet. There are plenty of server-side fixes- automatic ones at that, but nothing for the compputer side as far as I can tell. If anybody knows of something, you might want to invest in the company/person before posting it
