Thanks for your help Aran. I think I've got it. It is a timing issue during the loading of the swf. We had a bit of code which took to params and flashVars out of the html after which the player would appear. However this was not always happening in the correct order and so the swf was not always recieving its flashVars. I think all I need to do is turn the AS bootstrap into a proper document class, rather than code within the FLA and the site will load up in the correct order. I'll tell you how we get on.
Thanks again.
