How to auto-start an FLV movie
Hi
I have an FLV file embeded on a web page within a .swf player. It works great - but I need the movie to start playing as soon as the page loads (without waiting for the user to click the play button). I have tried a param of autostart=true - and also appended &autostart=true to the file source param, but no luck. The code I'm using is as follows - and it doesn't auto-start. Any ideas?

<param name="menu" value="true" />
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="autostart" value="true" />
