perhaps you can change the swf to non-play state with a JavaScript on all of
the pages other than the first one.
in the swf OBJECT tag have the following "id" tag:
id="test1"
in the EMBED tag have the following "name" tag:
NAME="test1"
in the body of all pages other than the first
<BODY onload="StopFlashMovie()";>
Somewhere in the HEAD place the following javascript function:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function getFlashMovieObject() {
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet")!=-1) {
return window.test1;
} else {
return window.document.test1;
}
}
function StopFlashMovie()
{
var flashMovie=getFlashMovieObject();
flashMovie.StopPlay();
}
</SCRIPT>
Remember that if you change the name from "test1" to something else, it must
be change everywhere in the functions also.
