Flash mp3 player Moo 05-11-2008

I'm trying to embed a flash mp3 player on my website
(http://www.cafepress.com/sfclothing), I did post a previous message
regarding a windows media player one but I prefer the flash one and I
guess it'll have more compatibility with more people.

Anyway, what I struggling with is getting it to autoplay (eventually I
intend to have it pop up in it's own window so people can still browse
my site whilst the audio is playing).

Has anyone used this flash player before, if so can anyone shed any
light on how to get it to autoplay?

The tutorial I used to get the player going is:

http://www.macloo.com/examples/audio_player/

and the flash files come from:

http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/

It's typically used for wordpress but as the tutorial above shows, it
can be used on any site. The 1pixelout site does say that there is an
autostart flag but I can't seem to get it to work. The html I used was
exactly like in the tutorial (having changed the urls)

I'll reproduce the code here (with original tutorial URLs):

<script language="JavaScript"
src="http://www.fakedomain.com/myname/audio/audio-player.js"></script>

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="http://www.fakedomain.com/myname/audio/player.swf"
id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290">

<param name="movie"
value="http://www.fakedomain.com/myname/audio/player.swf">

<param name="FlashVars"
value="playerID=1&amp;soundFile=http://www.fakedomain.com/myname/audio/music.mp3">

<param name="quality" value="high">

<param name="menu" value="false">

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

</object>


Any help is much appreciated!

If you are going to post to two newsgroups consider cross posting, or
just pick one. Thank you.

I find more people moan about cross-posting than not.

They may moan at cross-posting (when folk cross-post indiscriminatingly)
but they scream at multi-posting! Multi-posting usually causes folks to
bother answering questions that were already answered in the other
group. Cross-post if you must, but don't multi-post.

Take care,
