You might try it again, I inadvertently published an Aftershock test page.
Like I said, AS is still new to me. If you still have problems please give
me more info like OS, machine, etc.

Thanks!

Your script didn't work, it incorrectly sent me to the non-Flash page. I
was
able to view the "Monkey" page once I clicked on the link for the Flash
site.
