[asda]

Is is possiable to control which frame the flash flie start at from the HTML..

by using any <param>

<OBJECT classid=&quot;clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot;
codebase=&quot;

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0&quot;

WIDTH=548 HEIGHT=40>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=&quot;BarAccess.swf&quot;><PARAM NAME=Frame VALUE =2 <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src=&quot;BarAccess.swf&quot; loop=false menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=548 HEIGHT=40 TYPE=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; PLUGINSPAGE=&quot;

Have you tried changing the value behind PARAM NAME=Frame Value= ?
I believe you have no closing > behind that parameter. (If it's your code).

Why would you do that ? You can't open this flash file ? It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

put this AFTER the plugin code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;> 
var InternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf(&quot;Microsoft&quot;) != -1;
baraccess.GotoFrame(2);
</SCRIPT>

remember to insert name=&quot;baraccess&quot; after the movie dimensions in between the <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags.

ps: activeX, all your addition does is set a variable in the main timeline called &quot;frame&quot; and assign the value 2 to that variable.

dave,

what is this code for:

var InternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf(&quot;Microsoft&quot != -1;

it is from ur example above.

biggie.

big,

Thanks for highlighting that because I was in a rush when I wrote that and left a vital part out. The previous code I gave will work no problem with IE but not with netscape.

To allow it to work for both browsers use the following:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;> 
var InternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf(&quot;Microsoft&quot;) != -1;
var dave = InternetExplorer ? window.baraccess : window.document.baraccess	;
dave.GotoFrame(2);
</SCRIPT>

where:

---the

var Internet.....

line checks whether the user is using Netscape or Internet Explorer as their browser. This is needed because both browsers target objects differently.

---the

var dave.....

line sets up a variable called dave which has the correct target definition for the particular browser.

---the final line utilises 'dave' to target the movie effectively.

On A final note, to ensure that this works in Netscape, insert

swLiveConnect=true

just before the

name="baraccess"

statement within the <EMBED> tags.
