Given the recent screwup between Microsoft and Eolas, resulting in that stupid 'two-click' flash update, i was wondering if anyone had any alternatives that could be used instead of flash for animated graphics of a similar quality to flash?
Or, if a workaround has been found that is transparent so the surfer doesnt have to click two times to activate a flash object?

You have to embed your media in a javascript and call it from the original page. Here's a little primer for you. http://www.digitalmediadesigner.com/...e.jsp?id=38506
I used it on this page with a .wmv and it works fine as far as I know. Notice that you don't have to double click the video to get it started. http://www.uknakedmen.com/
Cool stuff thanks Jim :)
Out of interest, are you by any chance using this method for flash movies inside a members area and, if so, is it working as it should?

No, I am not doing that at the moment. The only caveat that I'm aware of... the user has to have javascript enabled or it won't work. I may be wrong but doesn't IE have "disable javascript" set as a default. Between Microsoft and anti-spyware/anti-virus software, it's becoming nearly impossible for surfers to enjoy the web as it's meant to be. :(
No. But there are other sucky things it seems to be defaulting on in their beta browser. There's a thread somewhere here where we were discussing target=_blank and being treated as a popup window.Quote:
