You're absolutely right: I'm not into flash at all. I only did these coz the bosses in Beijing want it. Then they start complaining it's not good quality working over poor connections....
Anyway, put the missing ClearExternalNoVol.swf with it, and now it does a menu, sort off an outline, though not quite the same as in the AC_FL_RunContent. Guess incompatibilities in the format there. Looks like I'll be hunting for a swf editor next. The originals are probably created by Dreamweaver or so. Thanks for your help. I might be back for more if I can't get the swf to obey my start/stop and seek bar.....
