    Autostart with embed object

    Hi, I started a blogger account a month or so ago and lately I have tried to be a bit more creative with my posts. One of my recent posts includes an embed object linking to an mp3 that I have hosted on a server.

    The problem that I am having is that the file begins playing imediately as soon as the page loads. As that post is pushed down the page, it becomes less obvious where the music is comming from which is just irritating. Another problem is that the server hosting the file has bandwidth limits...I would prefer that the file is not called unless someone actually chooses to listen to it.

    The Code that used in my post:
    <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="http://h1.ripway.com/Soujirou7/mysong.mp3" autostart="false" loop="false" height="25" width="175"></embed>
    As you may notice, the autostart function is set to "false." This is what really puzzles me.

    As I was writing this, I realized that IE handles the object correctly. I use Firefox almost exclusively, so I didn't think of this at first...I am not as worried, but I would still like to know if there is some way to correct it for all browsers.

    Re: Autostart with embed object

    Browsers handle this in many different ways. You may want to try this javascript

    Code:
    <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Your Title Here</TITLE>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--
function embPlayer() { 
   // Get Operating System 
   var isWin = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("windows") != -1;
   if (isWin) { // Use MIME type application/x-mplayer2
      visitorOS="Windows";
   } else { // Use MIME type audio/mpeg, audio/x-wav, etc.
      visitorOS="Other";
   }

   var objTypeTag = "application/x-mplayer2"; // MIME type for non-IE browsers on Windows
   if (visitorOS != "Windows") { objTypeTag = "audio/mpeg"}; // MIME type for Linux & Mac 
  
   document.writeln("<object width='300' height='42'>");
   document.writeln("<param name='type' value='" + objTypeTag + "'>");
   document.writeln("<param name='src' value='SOMEMUSIC.MID'>");
   document.writeln("<param name='autoplay' value='true'>");
   document.writeln("<param name='autostart' value='0'>");
   document.writeln("<param name='volume' value='-9'>");
   document.writeln("<param name='controller' value='1'>");
   document.writeln("<param name='PlayCount' value='2'>");
   document.writeln("<EMBED src=mysong.mp3 type='" + objTypeTag + "' autoplay='false' autostart='-1' width=300 height=42 volume='-9' controller='1' PlayCount='7'></EMBED>");
   document.writeln("</object>");
   document.close(); // Finalize document
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>

<BODY>
<IMG alt="" src="somepic.gif"><BR>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
embPlayer();
</SCRIPT>
<NOSCRIPT>
<EMBED src=SOMEMUSIC.MID width=300 height=42 type=application/x-mplayer2 
volume="-9" PlayCount="2" controller="true"></EMBED>
</NOSCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
