this looks like there's going to have to be some workarounds

Does this affect videobloggers? What do ActiveX controls do?
In IE, ActiveX controls let you play video right in your web page. (So, no more doing that I suppose.)
What we really need is native/built-in Video (and Audio) support, built right into the browser. (And not need plug-ins for it.)
Actually, what we really need is SMIL support. (SMIL is a markup language similar to HTML, but adds video, audio, and timing.) SMIL's actually a perfect fit for us vloggers, vidcasters, vodcasters, Internet TV makers, etc.
See ya

can't seem to pin down why some browsers exhibit the 'Click to run an
ActiveX control on this webpage" alert and some don't. I have tested
with the exact same versions on different machines and have seen
different behavior.
Here is Microsoft's official workaround:

And here's some more info re: timetable etc:

Note, it's a problem not only with object tags but also embed tags and
applet tags. And if users have a certain advanced checkbox unchecked
(see the first url above) they'll see the alert anyway no matter what
web page authors do (except force their users to use another browser
of course).

vPIP is an external javascript that uses one of the procedures
Microsoft provides for automatically embedding. I tested it on IE 7
and it works as in IE 6 and Firefox.

P.S. I mistakenly entered earlier a response through the google
groups view which doesn't show up on yahoo groups. So if your viewing
through google groups you'll see a prior similar responses.

In MSIE 7, the xmlhttprequest object will be built-in:

Actually, what we really need is SMIL support.
i work with SMIL.
if interested you can see SMIL being used to render 'vodcast playlists' on vlogdir.com.
it converts RSS to SMIL, taking only the Quicktime compatible media enclosures (dependent on mime type specified in RSS at the moment) and inserting embedded hyperlinks to the permalinks (click the video).
as much as i think smil is cool.... i'm also preparing an flv vodcast playlist generator, since this is a web based experience.
