To get the movie (character) to play each time I took the outputted file and imported into "swish video" by swishzone.com -- Then you can import the exported code for your site. If this is a single file I can do it for you free once as I know what it's like to want to get things done.

Hopefully future releases will have the auto play option and the ability to have a video play only once per visitor visit to a site.
