    Thanks Emily

    Yes that does it....

    When I first looked I looked @ the 1st 4 bytes of the swf file = 70,87,83,5
    and the next 4 giving the length.........
    It was the 4th byte that put me off, but I beleive this is the version number.

    Thanks for that.... I can now see my way clear.
