Hey! Im creating a webpage in dreamweaver, so Im making some buttons with Flash. All works well. But I tested it in Firefox - worked great, tried it in IE6 here and logged into work and tried it there and both places need to click on button once to get it to work. then fine till leave the page and come back and once again have to like click them to activate them. Any Ideas? here is link to site to see what I mean thanks! http://www.theweagles.com/StaffOwne...

Sounds like you are talking about the Eolas 'problem'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eolas

Use an external js file to write out the entire object element. There is lots on google about this.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="eolas.js">
</SCRIPT>

/*eolas.js*/
document.write('<object>........')

remember to allow for people without javascript.

As it is simply a role over that you are creating you might consider just using javascript to create the effect instead of flash. You should also consider moving to CSS.

Hope this helps

sorry for maybe a bad question but how do I allow people without javascript?

not at all

after you're script tag use a no script tag. in the noscript tag write normal html. this will only be displayed to people who have scripts turned off. give them a static image link instead. people are catering for no scripts less and less these days but it is still considered good practice even if its just a message to say you must have scripts turned on.

<SCRIPT>
</SCRIPT>
<NOSCRIPT>
only people with scripts off will see this
</NOSCRIPT>

sorry, but I have absolutely no idea what you mean... or how to write html.
