How to disable autoplay of the movie in XHTML transitional


Here's my code

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:425px; height:349px;" data="multimedia/1.mp4">
<param name="movie" value="multimedia/1.mp4" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
</object>

When i open my website, the movies are automatically playing.

What is the solution so i can disable the autoplay of my movies in my website that use XHTML transitional?


Solution

  • I'd remove the autoplay attribute, since if the browser finds the autoplay string, it autoplays!

    The autoplay is not a boolean type.

    Also, the type goes inside the source, like this:

    <video width="640" height="480" controls preload="none">
       <source src="http://example.com/mytestfile.mp4" type="video/mp4">
       Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>
    

    or

    Try adding autostart="false" to your source tag.

    <video width="640" height="480" controls="controls" type="video/mp4" preload="none">
    <source src="http://example.com/mytestfile.mp4" autostart="false">
    Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>
