This may be controllable from within Flash, but if you go to my: site, you'll see (at least in IE6 and 7), that the flash logo shows up before the rest of the site.

Can that be manipulated in my .ascx?

Here's the bit of code that displays it:

<tr>
<tdvalign="bottom"align="center">
<palign="left">
<objectclassid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="500"height="83"id="TrudeauConsulting"align="middle">
<paramname="allowScriptAccess"value="sameDomain"/>
<paramname="movie"value="http://www.trudeauconsulting.com/TrudeauConsulting.swf"/>
<paramname="quality"value="high"/>
<paramname="bgcolor"value="#6a6bd5"/>
<embedsrc="http://www.trudeauconsulting.com/TrudeauConsulting.swf"quality="high"bgcolor="#6a6bd5"width="500"height="83"
name="TrudeauConsulting"align="bottom"allowscriptaccess="sameDomain"type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

</p>
</td>
</tr>

thanks!

You may want to cheat that a bit and use an absolutely positioned div to drop it in last, and your other stuff first. A tableless layout will accomplish that for you.

The other option would be to create a blank SWF file, load that in, and use ActionScript to delay by about 5 seconds or so, then load the other file.

Cool - yeah I hadn't thought of that. Well since I'm using DNN for the time being and tables are for the most part a necessary evil, I'll look into the blank .swf. Thanks!

a very beautiful flash

Thanks - I used a guy on this site for making it, i_luv_pitza . If you need something done, he does great work and is fast. Tell him I sent 'ya!
