Can't make Flash movie NOT play when page loads
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 11:08 am
Ok gents/ladies, any advice you can throw my way would be greatly appreciated...
We have a flash movie file that is in our webpage. When our webpage loads, the flash file starts playing automatically, We've been trying to figure out how to load the page with the flash file NOT playing. According to macromedia's site, we just need to pass the parameter play = false. Here's how we currently have our flash object defined:
This loads up the flash file fine, but even though we set play to false, it still plays. Ve have tried using "play" "PLAY" "Play" but its as iff the parameters don;t have any effect. When we also had play specified in the <EMBED> section, that didn;t work either. It plays when the webapge loads on IE, Firefox, Mozilla....
Anyone know what we are doing wrong? How do we make this thing NOT play by default when the page loads!?
Help!
