Yet, there are tons of unwanted flash animations on the Internet. I think having
a "click before run" feature is a large benefit, both in terms of stability and
security. A program as complex as a flash player is bound to have bugs. Not
playing any animations unless the user clicks on them limits the exposure
considerably.
