hi again FlashAaron,

the next thing i would try in your case would be to
output the flash file from Flash MX, running inside MacOSX, in the hope that the problem is a MacOSX / Flash 5 compatibility issue.

this being said, please note that i have no tangible proof so far that autostart is actually working in MacOSX.

i will know more next week, when i have the ibook with me.
