nope, Flash's HTML is pretty poor, even after you fix it...
here, everyone humor me and try something...
if you have IE5.x+ running, set your security prefs to prompt you
*before* running any ActiveX controls...
then go to http://quantumcms.com/
when it asks if you want to allow ActiveX controls and plug-ins to
run, say 'No'...
note how nothing appears in the Flash movies' place (i can easily
fix the height with a spacer)...
however, if you go to
http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/news/0,10870,2829073,00.h
tml (as an example) and click no, a static .gif appears instead of a
Flash movie... clicking yes would show the Flash movie...
so, how can i get that sort of thing to happen on the site above
(which is undergoing a major overhaul)?
