As Geoff posted there is a fix and it is being implimented by most web sites that know how to fix it. You can pretty much google seach a fix and be fine. This is no longer an issue.

As suggested earlier, putting the object/embed tag in a document.write() call within an external Javascript file (and then including that JS file in your HTML doc) will remove the need for a user click to activate the control. By parameterizing your external JS file/functions, it could also be reused by passing in references to different SWF movies, requiring only one external JS file across multiple resources. Hope this helps out.

If the OBJECT tag is written to the page by JavaScript it will bypass the extra click. HOWEVER. The document.write must be contained in an external JS file. It can not be inline with the code.
