Workaround for Internet Explorer ActiveX update

After evaluating a couple of different approaches available for getting around the recent issue that is impacting many web sites, I like the solution offered by deconcept.

My initial impression is that SWFObject is more intuitive to implement, more flexible and even provides Flash detection as part of the package. , but for me SWFObject just feels a little more on target. Tried it out on one of my older Flash sites and it only took a couple minutes — from download to completion – to get the initial solution in place. And there is more room to tweak when time permits.

Kudos to , SWF Object’s author, for making this solution available.

Comment on How To Customize QR Codes With Your Brand’s Identity by Sage
The LV code worked but only when I stepped about 3 feet back so that it was very small on my screen. Then finally the QR scanner (Red Laser Classic on iPhone 4) read it correctly. My guess is that the image is too big and once it gets shrunk down enough, some of the interfering features become ambiguous. - Comment left on 12/11/2011.
