Anyone have any ideas I could try?? Try _level0 - that's what you'd need to replace the current movie. Alternately, you can avoid needing to load Flash at all - use JavaScript to iterate over the plugins array on Netscape and use VBScript with an On Error handler to instantiate the Flash ActiveX control - if it fails, your VBScript can assume Flash isn't installed (which is the sane default).
