Software utilities

Maybe you wonder (as I did) what AC_FL_RunContent is. You could find it in many website using flash animations. It’s a script that gets called when you need to include such an object in a webpage. While you could use <embed> or <object> tags (with the former being deprecated in favor of the latter), you could have annoying problem if you (or you’re website visitors) are using a Microsoft browser. Using these navigation softwares, users need to explicitly enable ActiveX (or Flash) content, by clicking on it (an appropriate warning will be shown). Microsoft is removing this need, but until it is completely removed, you should use this Javascript script (or an alternative one). They basically use document.write javascript function in order to write the <object>HTML code snippet to the HTML. This trick disable ActiveX activation, so you and your website users don’t have the annoying bar under IE.
