    Hi, I've tried everything I can think of, cant get the video at http://debbiepenner.com/Recommends/ActiveSafelist to play automatically upon loading.

    The video is from utipu, and the code I'm trying is:

    <embed src="http://www.utipu.com/player/player.swf" autoplay="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="460" height="365" flashvars="&file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.utipu.com%2Fapp%2Fservice%2Fplaylist%2F%3Ftip%3D16058&autoplay=1" />

    Please, I have an ad campaign already running, and it's wasted if it doesn't play on loading.

    Thanks,

    Debbie

    Hi,
    try something else, in flash open new document, insert FLV player component then load flv file in the component and in the settings there is one option autoplay, set in on. Then compile the movie and user the HTML source from the html file which has been geterated by flash, hope that will help.

    Thanks!

    I tried to download flash so I could try that, but it appears my computer doesn't have the required OS, so that's not an option for me. Any other ideas?

    I also tried switching to a youtube video, but it didn't respond to an autoplay or autostart command either. So there must be something in the page that's blocking it.

    do you mean the link to the website?
    http://debbiepenner.com/Recommends/ActiveSafelist

    or the link to the video:
    http://www.utipu.com/app/tip/id/16058

    Here's the embed code I'm trying to alter:
    <embed src="http://www.utipu.com/player/player.swf" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="500" flashvars="&file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.utipu.com%2Fapp%2Fservice%2Fplaylist%2F%3Ftip%3D16058&callback=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.utipu.com%2Fapp%2Fservice%2Fview" />

    I've tried adding autoplay="true" , autostart="true" AUTOPLAY=TRUE
    &ap=1 and all kinds of other combinations, and placed it in all different places, but to no avail.
