Web Cached files insist on starting

[Denver Dave]

I've noticed that even when I use click to start and unload movie at the end that while the first time that a flash video is displayed, we must click to start as expected. However, once in cache, the videos will always start automatically when the page is refreshed or redisplayed.

I realized that I had a problem here when I had more than one <object> on the same page and we refreshed to a zoo.

Try using "STOP action on first frame".

Thanks for your help! The stop action on first frame did not solve it, but once I realized that other's were not having the same problem, it was not difficult to track the solution down.

1st I tested and realized that .swf's without a player that are set on click to start do not have the same issue. The issue was the preload / load movie. I was doing this in the create player dialog and once I stopped using the setting there and instead did it in the original .swf screen, the video only plays when click even when refreshed.

Any idea when we should use the load movie and preload in player as contrasted with the similar settings in the original .swf?

Thanks - glad to have that one figured out!
