Oh ok ...that's what I was hoping/assuming.
Then I must be confused about the procedure. I have use the swfobject
dynamic embed method which works fine to play the swf 1 time.
swfobject.embedSWF("menu.swf", "swf_menu", "725", "325", "9.0.0",
"expressInstall.swf", 0, params, {id:"menu", name:"menu"});
then as i understand the docs, i am supposed to ref and re-play the
object as follows.
var movie = window.document.menu
movie.Play();
i get a movie.Play() is not a function error in JS.
