I want this to start playing automatically once the user loads the page. I have no idea what I am doing. Please advise. I am tired of messing with this blindly.

auto play = true

Deej · 11-28-2007, 09:54 PM

if you want it to auto play though... you might think about just making a custom flash movie without the controls... with just a back button...

either way... its all about the configuration of the player, ... look for the autoplay settings

You got a slight error in your code

PHP Code:


			
<embed src="betterflv.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="240">

Should be:

PHP Code:


			
<embed src="betterflv.swf?file=/trailer1.flv" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="240">

okay I corrected this, but for some reason now the video doesn't seem to want to work at all.

That's really weird, did you try direct linking to the video in the script?: http://www.poonygalleries.com/test/trailer1.flv

are you going to use this for blog postings? if so, I have a much better script that is easier to use:
