Hi all,

I need to know if I can do this and if there are any examples out there that can help me, or if you guys can help me.

I have an html page with an .swf in it.

when this page loads, i want it to play a certain section in my swf (which I have labelled).

Is there a way for me to do this? using javascript?

i.e. \<body onload=( gotoandPlay (starthere) )

Thanks,
