This is exactly what I needed, but I want the ability to set the autoplay from the javascript. Is this possible?

Something like: so.addVariable(”autoplay”, “true”);

I’ll have a look at this tomorrow when I am back on my dev machine. Don’t see why that wouldn’t be possible. Just have to add another line of actionscript to pass the state to the flash playback component.

Glad to see you got some use out of it.

Hi, I am having trouble trying to avoid the warning from the Internet Explorer when using SWF.
I am not an expert and can work myself around html and flash but I don’t seem to be able to embed the SFW banner in my webpage without having the warning bar popup.

Any ideas of what I am doing wrong or how I can fix this.

Thanxs

Hi Peter, have a look at this site http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ SWFObject makes embedding Flash a breeze and takes care of all sorts of cross browser issues at the same time (like the IE issue with content activation you’re having). It’s widely used by web-developers/designers and is very good.

hi thanks for the solution, for me its working fine. I have one small doubt is it possible, when a song finishes the other song start automatically.

Hi Krishna,

that’s definately possible as there is a “onComplete” event that you can use to skip to the next song once it’s triggered.

It’s not flawless due to the component being a bit bit funny in the way it handles the buttons but it works, have a look in the Flash help.
