KA-CHING! We got it. The try/catch was the last idea we needed. Here is the relevant code: <script language ="JavaScript"> <!-- function TryPlay () { var erroredout = false; try { MuteMe(document.movie1); PlayIt(document.movie1); MuteMe(document.movie2)...

True; I saw that doc and messed about with this idea a bit. It seemed to me that these calls were parallel to the SetMute call and would therefore fail in the same way if the object were in the same condition. In other words, if instead of asking the object to mute, I asked it if it were ready...
