i’m working on this site: [www.chrisribar.com/nps2](http://www.chrisribar.com/nps2)

the problem is that i want one of the movie clips in the background to start playing automatically…does anyone know the script in order to get the swf to play right away?

they swf files load and play when pressed (bottom right buttons)

last resort, i’ll create a fullscreen button to activate the movieclip but i’d rather not have to…

helpp

thanks!!!
