wmv player help - stop autoplay

[bschneider5]

I am adding a WMV file/viewer to a blog post and the problem I am having is that I don't want it automatically start whenthe page loads, I want to have to press the play button. Any toughts? Here is the code I'm using:

<center><embed src="http://www.bradsblog.net/wp-images/lights.wmv" width="400" height="300" autoplay="false" controller="true" loop="false"></embed></center><br />

there is usually quite a bit more code involved with an embedded wmv player... is that all of your wmv code?

[bschneider5]

yes, and it seems to works except for the autoplay feature

Take a look at http://www.lohan.freshdames.com/rumors-video-lyrics.html and look at the code for the video there. I see some differences in the source code that might help you.

OK, here's the deal....The code works but it seems to be a firefox issue. It doesnt autoplay in explorer, you can see my dilemma here - http://www.bradsblog.net/?p=181


Thanks!

i was referring to including things like the class i.d. of the player, something similar to this... firefox can be really finicky with embedded wmv:

<OBJECT id=MediaPlayer codeBase=HTTP://ACTIVEX.MICROSOFT.COM/ACTIVEX/CONTROLS/MPLAYER/EN/NSMP2INF.CAB#VERSION=6,4,7,1112
type=application/x-oleobject height=300
