There's a technote that covers the top issues:

Now, that's odd... the HTML usually downloads before the Flash Player

starts up and the SWF starts streaming. Is there anything unusual with that

particular page to make it so slow to load...?


It's *possible* to have JavaScript control the Flash Player, but only in

browsers which offer such an ability... IE/Mac is the ringer. If you'd care

to study JavaScript control over the Flash Player, though, then there's an

introduction in a nest of pages accessed at:
