How can I make this video start automatically? Right now you have to activate it and click play for it to run. I want it to run as soon as the webpage loads up. I cant seem to figure out where to place the coding. Thank you.

<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yiIVr3K_Lfw"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yiIVr3K_Lfw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="240" height="180"></embed><p>

Just add autoplay="true" in your <embed> tag anywhere.

<embed src="mymovie.mov" autoplay="true">

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yiIVr3K_Lfw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="240" height="180" autoplay="true"></embed>

That should do it.

As the OP surely found out, for some reason the autoplay=true will not work if it is just randomly embedded anywhere. I tried this, ALSO using a video from YouTube.com like the OP, and it didn't work for me. I tried several variations and still no success.

Luckily for me - after some Googling I bumped across a page where someone had successfully started a YouTube video automatically w/o the user having to click to activate it.

You must insert this: &amp;autoplay=1 like so:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yiIVr3K_Lfw"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yiIVr3K_Lfw&amp;autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

I know it looks funny, but I swear it works. Check out my page, if you don't believe.http://toppahshottah.hi5.com
