onLoad Function in Javascript

I'm working to get the onLoad function of a javascript to work:
the script allows form buttons in html to refer to labeled frames in flash. Which works fine.

Now I want to add onLoad functionality to force the flash file to jump to a labeled frame on load.

This is the Javascript in the head of the html file:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <!-- 
  2. function getFlashMovieObject(movieName)
  3. {
  4.   if (window.document[movieName]) 
  5.   {
  6.     return window.document[movieName];
  7.   }
  8.   if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet")==-1)
  9.   {
  10.     if (document.embeds && document.embeds[movieName])
  11.       return document.embeds[movieName]; 
  12.   }
  13.   else // if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet")!=-1)
  14.   {
  15.     return document.getElementById(movieName);
  16.   }
  17. }
  18.  
  19. function GotoLabelStart()
  20. {
  21.     var flashMovie=getFlashMovieObject("myFlashMovie");
  22.     flashMovie.TGotoLabel("/", "start");
  23. }
  24. //-->
  25.  
By using a form and form buttons the script jumps to a frame labelled 'Start'.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <input type="button" value="Start" name="Start" onclick="GotoLabelStart();" />
  2.  
I tried several solutions I've found on the net to make the onLoad function to work, please note that it needs to work for Safari on Mac aswell.

SOLUTIONS tried and not working:

1. <body onload="GotoLabelStart();">

2. Added another js:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <!-- 
  2. function addLoadEvent(func) {
  3.   var oldonload = window.onload;
  4.   if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
  5.     window.onload = func;
  6.   } else {
  7.     window.onload = function() {
  8.       oldonload();
  9.       func();
  10.     }
  11.   }
  12. }
  13.  
  14. addLoadEvent(GotoLabelStart);
  15. addLoadEvent(function GotoLabelStart()
  16. {
  17.     var flashMovie=getFlashMovieObject("myFlashMovie");
  18.     flashMovie.TGotoLabel("/", "start");
  19. }
  20. );
  21. //-->
  22.  
3. Another js I tried was :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <!-- 
  2. window.onload=function GotoLabelStart()
  3. {
  4.     var flashMovie=getFlashMovieObject("myFlashMovie");
  5.     flashMovie.TGotoLabel("/", "start");
  6. }
  7. //-->
  8.  
4. Another thing I tried was adding :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <script type="text/javascript">
  2. function load()
  3. {
  4. var flashMovie=getFlashMovieObject("myFlashMovie");
  5.     flashMovie.TGotoLabel("/", "terug");
  6. }
  7. </script>
  8. </head>
  9. <body onload="load()">
  10.  
5. Another thing I tried:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <script type="text/JavaScript">
  2. <!--
  3. function GotoLabelStart() {
  4. var flashMovie=getFlashMovieObject("myFlashMovie");
  5.     flashMovie.TGotoLabel("/", "start");
  6. }
  7. //-->
  8. </script>
  9. </head>
  10.  
  11. <body onload="GotoLabelStart();">
  12.  
6. Another try:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <script type="text/JavaScript">
  2. <!--
  3. window.onload=function(){
  4.  function GotoLabelStart() {
  5. var flashMovie=getFlashMovieObject("myFlashMovie");
  6.     flashMovie.TGotoStart("/", "start");
  7. }
  8. }
  9. //-->
  10. </script>
  11.  
7. Well, I tried ;-) Doesn't any one know a solution that actually works? The script needs to force the flash file to jump to a labeled frame onLoad.
