Run a Flash File Only When User Selects Item From the Menu

To add to this, I don't know if you're aware of Action Groups, but that could help you a lot.If you have the movie invisible and not played (per Russ's suggestion), then you can assign an action to the menu item (per TeeRainer's suggestion) that runs an action group.First, you create the group and call it Play Movie Group. Within that group, create two actions:Show MoviePlay MovieThen, you assign the action to Run Action Group and choose your target as Play Movie Group.You must create the group before the action (well, you can do them backwards, but it requires retracing your steps).Kevin
