Hi Jeff.


There are two ways of doing this. Obvious one is to uncheck the 'Loop'

box when setting the Publish Settings in Flash (under the HTML tab).

You can then import the html page which Flash generates into AGL, and

it'll work fine.


Second way, if you're using the 'Plug-in' icon from the AGL Palette, you

need to import your movie, and then in the AGL Plug-in Inspector window,

click on the 'Attributes' tab. Click 'new', and type 'loop' as the

attribute, and 'false' as the value. Make sure you specify the Mime-Type

under the 'Basic' tab, this should be set to < application/x-shockwave-

flash >, available from the AGL pop-up menu.


You can also specify other parameters, eg. quality, scaling etc from the

'Attributes' tab. Generally speaking, it's easier to do it using the MM

generated code. (You can also cut & paste this if you want to further

modify the page in AGL.


Hope this helps.
