Can you set a delay on an iframe?

[kita]

I have a small flash animation which plays through before the background image (CSS) has even loaded.
I've ben given JavaScript to delay the writing of the obj/embed tags until all the images have loaded. But on IE5 I loose my navbar image rollover states.

It has been suggested that I place the flash anim in an iframe but how do I delay the iframes appearance on the page?
Is iframe a good solution? ... to anything? What is the current verdict on them?

This belongs in the javascript forum!

A friend at college is having a similar problem. I've spent the last 15 minutes searching for a way to get JS to tell Flash to start playing, but without any luck.
Even though I don't know JS, I know this should be simple.

ps. iframes.....uurgh...
