Autoplay flash

[bekdesigns]

Hello,

Someone made a flash player for us quite awhile back, but they are getting ready to graduate, etc etc and are too busy to do work for us right now. I'm about to launch this persons site, and they want the flash player to autostart.

http://bekdesigns.com/platinum/audio.php

The guy told me this:
Around line 15 or so there ought to be a call to the stopTrack() function -- delete that and try the player out. If it doesn't work, toss in playTrack(); in stopTrack's place and you should be good to go.

Unfortunately that didnt work. If anyone has any other questions, of if I should paste the lines of codes in here, please do let me know so we can get this site up and running.

Thank you,

Eric

You have 2 "autoplay" in the command

<noscript>

	<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
	<param name="movie" value="mp3player5a.swf" />

	<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="mp3player5a.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="500" height="72" name="mp3player5a" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" add auto_play="true" autoplay="yes" autoplay="true" />
	</object>

Pull the one that says "true" there should only be 1 of those and you want it to say "yes". If that doesn't work I have no clue what needs to b done.

This code has my mind hurting. I would have written it a little different.

Corneo,
Thank you. I will try that out and let you know what happens.

Are you a flash designer? We are looking for an extremley artistic advanced flash designer for our company. We get many, many clients asking for flash banners, headers, intros, full flash sites, etc etc. We are in the need of someone asap. The company is bekdesigns.com. If you're interested in talking let me know!

Thanks,

Eric

to be honest. I'm retired and do this as a hobby. But I like to help when I can.

Hello,

I tired that and it didn't work unfortunately. I could provide you with the entire code, frame by frame if you would like and maybe you'll be able to look at the code and let me know something...

I appreciate it!
Let me know,

Eric

[corneo]

you don't have too. I can tinker on it when I get some time.

[corneo]

The part that has me going huh is you have 2 players on here and I'm not that good with php.

What I tired was pulling the following out and it did play. Try it and see if it still works. If it does, change the part I told you to change before and see what happens.. (remember to refresh before testing it)

This is going to be a "lets pull this and see what happens" thing.

remove this:

<script language="javascript">
	if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
		alert("This page requires music_player.js.");
	} else {
		AC_FL_RunContent(
			'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0',
			'width', '500',
			'height', '72',
			'src', 'mp3player5a',
			'quality', 'high',
			'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
			'align', 'middle',
			'play', 'true',
			'loop', 'true',
			'scale', 'showall',
			'autoplay', 'true',
			'wmode', 'window',
			'devicefont', 'false',
			'id', 'mp3player5a',
			'bgcolor', '#000000',
			'name', 'mp3player5a',
			'menu', 'true',
			'allowFullScreen', 'false',
			'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
			'movie', 'mp3player5a',
			'salign', ''
			); //end AC code
	}
</script>

If all else fails. I know a free player you can get that will work.
I'm sorry I can't do any more for yeah.

I pulled that out. It's just so weird it shows like it's going to play and then heads right to the stop button.

I have listed all of the files, including the .fla of what my old flash guy did, if you want to take a look...
