Hello

I'm new to this forum but what i have seen it is pretty good on helping people. My problem is i am using a .swf video but i don't want it to autostart to play on my website.

It would be a very usefull option to insert a pre-loading option for the player, without autostarting it...


ie.: The player is already loading the movie as soon as the html page/player swf has been loaded, but does no autostart the file. Below is the code for the video which i want to preload and not autostart but i don't know the script that has to be inserted. If anyone can kindly help me with my script by inserting the codes where needed to preload the .swf file without it autostarting that would be great.

Thank you
Above is only the video that I will be incorporating into my website so people first view the website, and then can click play and watch the fully preloaded movie, instead of clicking play and wait for the loading to begin/finish...

Is this your own? Do you have the .fla?

If so, attach it to this forum...

No its not my own video and so i would not know what a .fla is
My basic knowledge of html is very limited.

Just require some help on this video i am going to incorporate onto my capture page. Here i'll post my lead capture page to tell you guys what I mean.

Ahh.... i can't copy the whole code because its too long. Here i give you the website and you can see what i mean.

www.beatresult.com

When someone clicks through to the website the video is autoloading and it autostarts. I don't want it to autostart. I want people to read the writing and can then click on play (like the button in youtube in the middle of the screen) on the video when they choose to.

With the video autostarting it distracts them on reading what my website is about. If you can edit the html of the video so that it doesn't autostart i would that would be terrific.

Thumbs up
Thanks

Don't think what you want can be done through only editing the html embedding of this Flash video... You would need Flash to create a new separate holding container movie, in which to load this other movie into and control it...

It's not a video, it's just a .swf, or a Flash movie.
Where'd you get this movie from?
You say you don't have the .fla, which is the Flash document, which when compiled outputs a .swf, as your GoChi.swf...
Could you get hold of the .fla?

There's also seem to be a lot of controversy about FreeLiife and GoChi on the web...
One wonders if he should get involved...

this video or .swf is not mine.

But i can use it as i am part of Freelife.

All i did was i went to their link of the video or .swf website and use their "page source" to add to mine.

Just want to add some more other features.

So all i can get is the page source code displayed above on my previous post.

Whats this controversy you hear about on the web? Is it bad or good?

The controversy used to be freelife and goji but now people can't compare the new gochi with goji because they don't have it.

There used to many different kinds of goji drinks as there are 42 types of goji berries. Gochi is trademarked, FDA approved in America, and in the process of becoming TGA approved in Australia. Because it is a food, it has to undergo a long process for it to be approved in Australia.
