I did give you the solution before and have given some sample code

below.

But the exact script depends on your present Flash HTML.


The problem is not the delay but the fact that ALL the Flash HTML needs

to be written in JavaScript. Each line of your HTML code needs to be

document written as below. Use as many document.write lines as you have

HTML lines for your Flash. The 'Line One' through whatever needs to be

substituted with the Flash <OBJECT , <PARAM>s, <EMBED  etc. which all

need to be document written.


Syntax is very exact.

All double quotes (inside the double quotes shown below) need to be

replaced with single quotes.


The time in the setTimeout is in milliseconds.

2000 is 2 seconds and 3000 is 3 seconds.


<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

<!--


function FlashMovie() {

    document.write("Line One");

    document.write("Line Two");

    document.write("Line Three");

    document.write("Line Four");

                       }

setTimeout('FlashMovie()',2000);


//-->

</SCRIPT>
