That's exactly how it will work in the Test Movie and locally because

the file is already loaded.

Add a Label NormalPlay and while you are working on the file put the If

Frame is Loaded Goto directed there.

Then when putting the file up on the Web switch RePlay which is what I

usually call the frame where I want the Replay to start. Note it doesn't

have to be the last frame of the movie just whereyou want the movie to

start on return plays.
