This got me out of my trouble - thank you Steve.

My next problem is trying to embed the flash movie in a layer/div for
more control within the HTML page.
It works well, allowing me to hide/show the movie layer, revealing HTML
behind it, or to change the position of the movie on the page.

The problematic part is that I can no longer control the movie through
JavaScript.

I thought the syntax should be something like:

<input type="button" value="Play Flash"
onClick="window.document.layers['movieLayer'].document.intromovie.Play()
">

but it obviously isn't as it can't find the movie.

Has anyone else tried this?

Thanks again

Rudy
