playing a flash file only on one page

Hi there
Got a flash file on every page of my site. The swf has a small animation, however, I would only like that animation to play on the homepage... not on the other pages of the site... Just wondering if there is anything I can do to the file so that it only plays on index.php... on every other page it should go "go to and stop" at a specific frame...

Thanks

Don't put it on the other pages then? Maybe I don't understand the issue but if you don't want it to play, then take off the swf. If you want a different version of the same file to play, I would make two different ones, one for the homepage and one for the rest.

actually I just want to show the swf but after the tween... I should have mentioned that... its just annoying seeing the tween evertime you click on a new page... the swf is on the header...

Just make a second copy, that is easiest I think, without the tween. Otherwise you have to rely on some other language like PHP or JavaScript, and that just gets more complicated IMO.
