Rather non-intuitively, the successive zone IDs stepping down my zone list (as displayed in MC) are 10038, 0, 10036, 10035, 10018, etc. What is the logic behind the ordering of the zone list in MC?Internal IDs are... internal. No logic is required Maybe you should use the Index or Name instead.

How would I incorporate that in the SWF script mentioned earlier?Use Curl to do the HTTP calls.

On a wider issue, that script was published in this forum long before the Adobe Flash SWF format became defunct. Is there another way to automate MC startup?It's not SWF, it's WSF (Windows Script File). It's not related to Flash.
If you just need a script to run as a shortcut or as a scheduled task on windows startup/logon, you do not need a WSF file. You can use a simple .bat or .cmd file with the same commands, something like this:
Code: [Select]
@echo off
mc32
timeout 2
curl -u YourUser:YourPass http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/SetZone?Zone=10038ZoneType=ID
mc32 /MCC 10037,1
