autostart code for embed

[Wasiu0607]

here is my embed code and I would like the video to autoplay when I reach the website. I tried adding autostart="true" into the embed code but it doesn't work. Can anyone please tell me what code I must use in order for the vid to autostart?

Thanks!

AUTOSTART="1" (try this).

Nope, doesnt work either.

Maybe we need to use something other than "<embed>"...

You need embed for some of the older browser but include the object tag too. Try setting up your code using this easy to use Embedded Media HTML Generator (http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step1.php). You can set your variables with it like autostart, copy/paste the code and even test it if you put in the path correctly.
