I've looked at the Five100 tutorial and unless I'm missing something, I 

don't see why JavaScript is necessary to prevent a movie from playing. Just 

start it with a few blank frames, the last of which has a Stop action. It 

will only play when TellTargeted to play. Adding JavaScript to the mix just 

increases the chance of the viewer not having the right stuff to make it work.
