Dominiq -
Although the plug-in always rises to the top layer, you can hide it by
setting the properties of the layer it is in to <LAYER VISIBILITY=HIDE>
if you are using Netscape layers syntax, or "visibility:hidden" if you
are using css2.
You could then try setting AUTOSTART=TRUE for the EMBED and letting it
run in the hidden layer.
You could then possibly control the playback in javascript by resetting
the layer visibility property, the clip start position with
SetPosition(), then DoPlay().
You may gather that I haven't actually done this myself:-)
Maybe there's a simpler solution!
