I have flash navigation buttons on my website but everytime i visit the site or refresh a page, when i try to click on a button there is a box around it and it says click to activate? so in reality you have to double click the button to get anywhere. Anyone help?

Having entered "flash click to activate" (unquoted) in google, nearly every one of the top 100 results provide the solution. Here's the first 5:

Microsoft had to do this legally. It's to do with ActiveX and having to get the user to agree to run it or something.

There are ways around it.

Like not using flash? The buttons on my site are mosly CSS...

Mostly. It's getting an overhaul anyway!

Ive noticed. Thats it with servage now I cannot afford to be sitting around waiting for them to fix cables.

To be fair, there is no need for flash buttons at all. Complete lack of accessibility going on there unless you're offering an alternative.

What's your site URL anyways?

It *is* a bit off. There are plenty of other (more reliable) servers out there! You do get what you pay for, after all!

sorted the flash problem. I took a big hammer to it and replaced with images and hotspots. much better.

All things are relative.

Learn CSS! Hotspots are a bit old school.....
