Subject:	Flash and JavaScript teamwork

It's still early days for me with Flash. I'm trying to get to
grips with controlling movies through JavaScript.
Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong in the code below?
Two things in particular:
1. Why does the <PARAM NAME="Play" VALUE="False"> line not
prevent the movie from playing on loading the page?
2. Why do my buttons controlling the Play() and StopPlay methods
sometimes work and other times result in a "window.document.goodmovie
has no properties" JavaScript error? (I'm developing solely for
Netscape 4.04)

<HTML>

onClick="window.document.goodmovie.Play()">
<input type="button" value="Stop Flash"
onClick="window.document.goodmovie.StopPlay()">
</form>

Thanks in advance
