Flash movie not starting

[RGDave]

I have a 60 sec flash movie on my home page that sometimes will not
automatically start and requires hitting refresh; most likely a chache
problem. I know there is a way to have it automatically refresh; ie:

In the System Meta Variable (HTTP-EQUIV) dialog box, type REFRESH in the
name box, and then type the number of seconds in the Value box.

But since the movie is 60 seconds long, I would need to set the seconds to
60 which is too long to expect anyone to wait.

Question: Is there anyway to automatically refresh just one time after the
page loads?

I think rather than having a meta refresh which may or may not be required
you should make sure the flash file is called correctly into the page.
sometimes something out of whack (even a little) will cause issues like
you've described.
give us a link to the page in question.

tell me exactly what's supposed to be animated and on what page.
I looked at it and it appeared OK.

The video (swf) I'm having trouble with is the 60 second video of the globe.
Most of the time, it works OK, but every now and then it fails to launch and
all you see is a static globe. I suspect it is a cache problem but don't
know how to insure it doesn't happen.

Thanks.

worked for me every time.
it's probably something with your local computer so don't sweat it, just
move on. <IMHO>
