First thing - do NOT use the <embed> to put the Flash into your page. Look in the HTML forum area for a sticky on how to put Flash (and other media) into your page.

thank you. i used the <object> instead, and it works in netscape and firefox, but derekshowm.swf still loops in internet explorer. ironically, it doesnt loop when i run the page locally to test it. any help greatly appreciated. thanks. derek (i still used embed for the buttons since that worked ok) i didnt understand the satay method.
