Sorry if that last post didnt make any sense, I didnt have enough coffee in my system... With that let me answer my question in case anyone wants to know:

function movieobject(thisLayer,thisMovie) {
if (navigator.appName.indexOf ("Microsoft") !=-1) return window[thisMovie]
else return eval('document.'+thisLayer+'.document.embeds["'+thisMovie+'"]');
}


This will return the flash plugin object for either netscape or IE. I dont know why the @#$@#$ I have to use the embed array which seems like a hack but its the only way I can get it to work. Let me know if you figure out a different way.
