Francesco,
Your explanation makes perfect sense to me.
Somehow, thinking that the HREF parameter in the EMBED tag is
meaningless to the browser and only understood by the plugin, which is
already active, the HREF should trigger a second time when the poster
returns to its "mothership"
Thanks for the keen eye and thanks to Brad (Bardly) Ford for the
exquisite Bach performance. Royalty check on the way :-)

Isn't this the correct behaviour??
This is what I see happening:
- The page loads with the poster movie (BWV998_Poster2.mov).
- The HTML has an HREF to the content movie
BWV998_allegro_wHREFph.mov (who's playing? Looks like Bardly Ford.)
- At the end of the content movie, the poster movie is loaded again.
Now, the reason why this does not work is because the HREF you have
in the embed tag ONLY applies to the movie that is embedded, which is
the first time the BWV998_Poster2.mov is loaded. What ever
subsequent movies you load targeting myself will need their own HREF,
like you already have on the content movie
"BWV998_allegro_wHREFph.mov".
So, for this to work as you want, what you need to do is attach the
HREF to the actual poster movie and just don't have any HREF in the
HTML.
This way, regardless on when the BWV998_Poster2.mov is loaded, it
will always point to the BWV998_allegro_wHREFph.mov which will always
point to the BWV998_Poster2.mov.
I would recommend making the poster movie with a sprite instead of an
HREF track, as the sprite will even work on the Player while the HREF
track may not. Even a Flash track wrapped around a .mov would work.
Make sure the syntax is <BWV998_allegro_wHREFph.mov>T<myself> for the
URL of the HREF within the poster movie.
The thing I find interesting is that you say it worked before.
