One of the "tiny" details is embedding the Flash object. The JavaScript file flashmoviecheck.js does exactly this, as well as other stuff. For example, it checks whether a Flash player exists (Flash plug-in or ActiveX control), and whether its version is higher than the minimum required by the application.

 SetZoomRect(top, left, right, bottom)

Use the following links to play, rewind, zoom in, zoom out, and zoom to an area:

Rewind | Play | Zoom In by 2x | Zoom Out by 2x | Zoom to Area

Here is the code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="flashmoviecheck.js"></SCRIPT>
<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf.Rewind(); return false">Rewind</A> | 
<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf.Play(); return false">Play</A> |
<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf.Zoom(50); return false">Zoom In by 2x</A> | 
<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf.Zoom(200); return false">Zoom Out by 2x</A> | 
<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf.SetZoomRect(0, 400, 1480, 1240); return false">Zoom to Area</A>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  Flash_embedSWF("swift3d.swf");
  var mySwf = window.document.sonify;
</SCRIPT>
