I have found this to work very well on one of my websites, however I do not want it to auto start the music the page. I want to have the user start it.

I have tried to edit the code on this line

<param NAME="Autostart" VALUE="1">

I have tried changing the value = to false which didn't work, I trying to find what and where in the code to stop the auto start feature. The code below is the same that I am using I just didn't add my titles and URL's. I also was wondering if there is a place in the code to change the color of the player.

Just for those of you that might be interested setting the player to not auto start with Java Script the following code does not work.

(0) - (-1) - (False)

I am sure that the code is out there and someone with knowledge of Java surely knows it. I have chosen a different route to get done what I needed to do. If anyone wants to give a shot at this code and see if they can figure it out maybe it would help others that might want to use it.

Hi Mike46,

No, Java is a completely different language than Javascript. Also, your problem was related to the configuration of a Microsoft component embedded in a HTML document. It has nothing in common with Java.
