Prevent flash video from playing automatically

Hi,
I know extremely little about Flash, and have been sent a completed SWF file, which I have inserted into my webpage with the code below.
The problem is that it starts playing automatically. Is there some way that I can add a parameter to the code below so that the video doesn't start automatically, or will the SWF file need to be re-created?
Thanks very much
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="480" height="396" id="myflash_player" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="myflash_player.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="myflash_player.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="480" height="396" name="myflash_player" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

the swf will need to be re-created or, another swf can be created that loads myflash_player.swf when you want.

How can I prevent embedded videos from playing automatically when I open a webpage?

When I go to a web page, such as when I click around to different stories on msn.com, there is often an embedded video. Sometimes it is a commercial. Sometimes it's something else. But it just starts playing all by itself, which can be loud and startling. I'd like videos to play only when I select them. Is there a way to make it prevent the auto-play?

How do I prevent flash videos from automatically playing?

Whenever I open a new link to youtube, collegehumor, various tv websites, etc. firefox always automatically starts playing the video even before i even look at that tab. Sometimes when firefox freezes I have a few video tabs open and when it starts back up, a few videos start playing at once.
Is there a way to turn this off? I'd like to manually control when these videos play.

How to stop the video from playing automatically

I've imported video to flash using the Import Video function
and one of their skins. How do i set the parameters so the video
does not play automatically? Thanks, K

Click on whatever your using to display the video, whether it
be actual video footage embedded or your using an Adobe video
player component to display it while the footage is hosted
remotely.
Then go to the top toolbar dropdown Window > Component
Inspector.
If your video object is embedded on the stage, look in the
Component Inspector window, on the Parameters tab, there will be
options, one of them is autoPlay, set that to False.
If you are using one of Adobe's pre-built components to
display your video, click your player, and in the Component
Inspector there will be a checkbox labelled "Automatically Play",
uncheck that.

How can I disable .mp4 videos from playing automatically on Yahoo News? (and elsewhere)

I posted a similar question last week about disabling html5 videos and that seems to have worked. But I notice that when I look at the Yahoo News main page, some videos (thumbnails) are playing automatically as I'm scrolling up and down the page. I find that annoying, distracting, and is probably consuming data on my limited plan.
I see other questions posted about .mp4, but those are all how to PLAY rather than NOT play videos.
Any help would be appreciated.

How do I stop Weather Channel's videos from playing automatically?

A previous answer to a similar question referred us to the "Stop Autoplay" add-on. That add-on, however, has been withdrawn.
Is there another solution?
PS: I'm using Firefox 18.0 for Windows XP.

Stop music from playing automatically

I have some music files on my website (at http://www.opusonejazz.com/Opus%20One%20Vocal%20Jazz%20Ensemble/Music%20Samples. html), which apparently from a report I have gotten play automatically on some peoples computers (i don't know their system specs). I don't have the files set to play automatically-I checked the Javascript file.
How can I prevent the clips from playing automatically, no matter what a user's settings are?
Thanks!

Your music file are set to not autoplay and your images used in your page are nearly as large in file size as them.
http://www.opusonejazz.com/Opus%20One%20Vocal%20Jazz%20Ensemble/Images/Opus%20On e%27s%20First%20Photo.JPG
Over 1.5 MB's when it should be 20 KB's. Use something to reduce that file size and don't place so many files on the same page.

Dear All, I can't play flash videos from any web site through firefox because it freezes but when i run firefox as administrator then it works fine (But Google Chrome Plays all videos normally.) . I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help

Dear All,
Firefox hangs when i try to play flash videos from any site but when i run firefox as administrator it works fine. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 Plays videos without running as administrator.) I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How do you stop multiple Youtube videos from playing at the same time?

As of a few days ago, when I click on a youtube video, as the commercial begins to play, you can begin to hear multiple/different commercials playing at the same time. After the commercials, the same issue occurs with the main video--multiple videos are being played at the same time and are not in sync. I've updated all my plug ins and have tried the suggestion posted in the forum provided in the link below in which someone else has expressed the same issue, but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know what can be done?
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/5Lnikma4UqM

Are you loading those videos as Flash or HTML5? It is possible to prevent videos from playing until you click something with Flashblock for Flash or Stop Tube HTML5 for HTML5. You can also stop the commercials with Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription.

Flash Video not playing in IE6

I have a flash video embedded in my page that plays fine in
FF and IE7, however when loading the page in IE6 the video is
absent (the "red x" is in its place) and I receive the message
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls
on this page. As a result the page may not display correctly."
Now, this happens in IE6 only on the default security
settings. I have other sites that embed flash video and play fine
in IE6 without warning...they weren't created with Dreamweaver CS3
though.
What is triggering this in IE 6 and can I remove some code
from my page to prevent this?
Thanks for any help to what is probably a noobish
question.

This would only be in local preview, right?

Stop Video from loading automatically...

Hi Everyone,
I have a VideoDisplay control that I want to play some video,
however I want to control when the video to be played should load.
At the moment, video is automatically loaded even though autoplay
has been set to false. Stopping the video from playing doesn't seem
to stop it from loading. Can I stop the video from loading at all?
Thanks for your help,
- Tony

How to Stop Flash Video from Downloading

Greetings,
Can anyone tell me how to configure Flash video from
automatically beginning the download process as soon as the page
loads? I've set autoPlay to false, so it does stop on the first
frame. But I can still see the download progress bar when it should
wait for a click.
Thanks

Is this one of those questions you guys get tired of
answering? ;-)
I've reviewed the answers for similar questions, but found
none that fully addressed my issue. If you could refer me to a
post, or an Adobe tutorial that deals with this head on, I would
really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Dark video Flash video from Quicktime on PCs

I have uploaded some Quicktime .mov files with H.264 compression to Google video but on a PC, the Flash video that plays is very dark during night scenes. (It looks fine when played on a Mac). The same file plays fine in Quicktime on PCs though.
Does this happen because of the compression on the original file? Is there a better way to prep the original file before encoding it to Flash that takes care of this?

Flash Video, unlike MPEG-4, doesn't automatically adjust to the gamma differences between Mac's and PC's.
QuickTime Pro Export Movie to QuickTime Movie and use the MPEG-4 video codec (even H.264) should adjust the gamma difference.
Since your experience suggests otherwise you should use the HSL Filter (again, export to QT Movie using QT Pro) and use the Filter button (Options) at export.
Make sure your frame (preview) is in the timeline prior to export and you'll get a "preview" of the filter action before you export.
