What can I do to modify the below script so that the embedded video plays ONLY when a visitor begins a unique visit to the page? In other words, I do not want the video to play again after a visitor returns to my home page after navigating my site:

<object width="230" height="213">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.usana.com/media/File/mediaCenter/embedPlayer/embedded.swf" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="cat=Prospecting&vid=ven020&autoplay=true&isMenu=true&locale=en&userName=Kristina$Keller-Wilczek&userEmail=kkdesign@cox.net" />
<embed src="http://www.usana.com/media/File/mediaCenter/embedPlayer/embedded.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true"
width="230" height="213" FlashVars="cat=Prospecting&vid=ven020&autoplay=true&isMenu=true&locale=en&userName=Kristina$Keller-Wilczek&userEmail=kkdesign@cox.net" /></object>

Not exactly sure.... but you may want to experiment with Flash "cookies" or the Flash shared local object. Google for more indepth info.

Yes -- I have spent about four hours surfing the web and my mind is numb. There are quite a few "general" suggestions, but it appears I may have to pay someone to do the work for me. It will save me money in the long run.
