auto play = true

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

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:
