justsomeguy Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Youtube uses a Flash movie to play the movie you selected. Using autostart on it works, because the Flash movie does start up. But the control to play the selected movie is inside the Flash movie, it's just a Flash button they made. There's not a way to simulate a click on a button or something like that. You could try to create your own Flash movie player and use it to load and play the same movie from Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFB Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Huh?What's with all the extra stuff, isn't auto start=true all that's required?all that other stuff makes it valid script. like justsomeguy said above, autostart='true' will not play the move because the movie is in a flash file. flash controls the starting of the movie. if you could get the actual movie and not the flash file then you could use autostart='true' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Well either way the video still does not start up automaticallyIt does start automatically. What is starting automatically is the Flash movie player, not the movie that the movie player is playing. You are embedding a movie player, not a movie. Autostart makes the movie player automatically start, which it does. It has its own controls for playing the movie that you want it to play. You can see the parameter of the movie you want it to play, which I assume is a FLV file. You can try playing that file directly instead of going through the player.Also, is lol!! HELP mel lol!! lol!LOL heELP me!1! really necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusuke Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 I really don't understand this...I thought it would be simple, the video should start to play as soon as the page loads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
