Hi.

I need help in making an animation start when viewing it in a browser. I have entered the code ‘play();’ in the first frame and ‘stop();’ in the last frame to stop replay. However, this only works in Firefox. Only in Firefox where I preview the animation does it start automatically. However, in Internet Explorer, I have to right-click and click play for it begin. I would like it to begin automatically if that’s possible?

Any way round this?

Thank you :thumb2:
