I didn't but now i have, and no go either.

My <embed> tag looks like this:
<EMBED src="swf/main.swf?username=<?echo $username?>&level=<?echo $level?>"
menu=false
quality=best
swLiveConnect=true
scale=exactfit
bgcolor=#000000
NAME=main
WIDTH=100%
HEIGHT=100%
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_
Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
So the object is named "main" hence movie=window.document.main in Netscape.
What p****s me is that this should work!!! I can't see where something is
wrong. Unless my eyes are addicted...

I've not included the IE part of the code, because that one is working fine,
but it's there.

Once again, if anyone know of a good site with tutorials / info on
javascript -> Flash, specially regarding Netscape, i'd be thankfull for the
URL.
