Thanks John for your reply! I think I need to go with a javascript

function on this one since I need total control of when Flash

starts to load. Flash likes to take control of screen space immediately

and I need it to not load until after a short DHTML script executes and

finishes. Could you point me in the right direction for a Javascript that

would would allow me to start loading about 2 seconds after the page is

loaded? (I'm a neophyte in Javascripting). 

Again, many thanks
