Windows XP SP2 & Frontpage

We have a simple Front Page 2003 web site (www.touchtalk.net) that has a
flash movie (and virutally every page has some type of flash made with Swish
or Java element) .  I have found with Windows XP SP2 Internet Explorer, that
every one of them comes up blocked automatically by the Internet Explorer
pop up blocker (so, I would assume, other pop up blockers would do the
same).  These display in the same window, not a sepearte dialog box, so I
would not think they would be considered Pop Ups anyway.  Technically
speaking, I am not sure it is the Pop Up blocker causing this, but IE
displays a bar that allows you to display the content or not, and you have
to tell it to for each page that has such content.

1)  Is there a way to prevent this blocking from happening (without the
internet user doing anything)?  I have been to other web sites where movies
are not blocked, but I am not sure if they are flash.

2)  If there is not way to prevent this, is there automatically a way to
display a dialog box to tell them, if flash is blocked, to allow pop ups
from this web site?  I have seen this on other web sites, but not sure how
to do it.

Thanks!

It's probably the ActiveX that is being blocked
