using autostart on embeded movie

Post by deejay »

Hi

I just can't seem to get this movie to display and not start playing straight away.

Code: Select all

 
 
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
 WIDTH="330" HEIGHT="200">
 <PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="http://analog.mobilerider.com/player4/242/19720"> <PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high"> <PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#FFFFFF">
<param name="autostart" value="false"> <EMBED src="http://analog.mobilerider.com/player4/242/19720" quality="high"   WIDTH="330" HEIGHT="200" NAME="19720" AUTOSTART="false" ALIGN=""
 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
 
I have tried several different things but it just doesn't seem to want to except the autostart=false command.

Any ideas welcome

I've used that for Windows Media player and it works fine. But for flash players, I've seen the following things thrown out there (I haven't worked with embedded swf)

Code: Select all

<param value="play=false&loop=false" name="FlashVars"/>
<param value="autoPlay"="false"/>
<param value="autoStart"="false"/>
I don't know if any of them work....

thanks for your reply Eric!

None of those worked. I'm presuming as its a flash problem then the film itself probably overrides the autoplay command, as I noticed it has its own player controls.

Thanks anyhow.
