Flash movie / HTML query

Question

Novice desperately seeking help with seeming inability to get
SWF movie to loop or not autoplay. HTML page generated using Flash
CS3. No matter what settings are tried, the behaviour is the same:
the movie starts immediately the page is viewed and plays only
once. I'd like to be able to either loop the movie or load the page
and not play the movie automatically. Would be great to know what
has been done wrong. I've included the HTML code below:
<script language="javascript">
if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js.");
} else {
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase', '

'width', '480',
'height', '424',
'src', 'VidInAction',
'quality', 'high',
'pluginspage', '

'play', 'false',
'loop', 'true',

'bgcolor', '#ffffff',
'name', 'VidInAction',
'menu', 'true',
'allowFullScreen', 'false',
'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
'movie', 'VidInAction',
'salign', ''
); //end AC code
</script>

If I'm reading you correctly, I think that what you want is a lightbox type of effect where the Flash movie appears from out of nowhere above a dimmed page. If this is the case then you need to use Javascript to create this dynamic html effect. I use mediabox advanced. It works with Mootools. You can find more info here: http://code.google.com/mediabox/
