[Pro] FLV on website

First, I do not code. So, what I’m asking is from a design perspective using Freeway Pro 6 on a mac.

I want to stop the FLV file from playing again after the viewer returns to the home page from other pages. That could be annoying to the viewer after you go “home” a couple of times.

Is there an action or source code that would allow the movie to not play once it plays the first time.

Thanks,
pete

Well, the obvious way to handle this is to not auto-play the movie in the first place. With dynamic media (particularly if they have soundtracks) this is the only courteous thing to do anyway.

Otherwise, you’re going to be diving off the high board into adding cookies to your page, and deciding if a person has already been to the home page once that session, and altering the autoplay attribute of the SWF file programmatically. There are no Actions for that, not directly.

Thanks waltd,
I was going for the quick fix and I should know better by now—it never hurts to ask, you just never know.
