I am trying to insert a small flash animation at the top of a webpage. The webpage is here www.idroidrandp.com/mbz. At the very top of the page you can see where the animation shows for an acheivement. Well the issue I have is when I insert it as a .swf file it just loops the first 1.5 seconds instead of playing the entire animation. I took the same animation with the same attributes and made it into a .flv file and that is what is up there now. I don't mind keeping the .flv style one up, I just hate having the little control box there (play, pause, stop, etc.) and I can't get that to go away. I tried everything I could think of and that google had to offer to get the full .swf file to play but it still only played the first 1.5 seconds instead of the entire 8 and then go away. Any ideas?

Please do show us how you code.

Here is the coding for the .flv file.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="396" height="98" id="FLVPlayer">
          <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
          <param name="quality" value="high" />
          <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
          <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
          <param name="salign" value="lt" />

          <param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />
          <!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->

All coding is done by dreamweaver, I am just choosing to add these files within it.
