Hi there,

On a website that I am creating for a client I need to add existing swf files which autoplay when you open the page. Because there are 2 swf files on one page I want to disable autoplay. In the file sources.php located in plugins/content/jw_allvideos/jw_allvideos/includes/ on line 204 I found the following code:
But I don't have an idea what I should change or add to disable autoplay. When using Google I find a lot of pages that say the following code disables autoplay but when adding that to the code above, the files still autoplay when loading the page.
Any ideas on how to disable autoplay?

Thanks,
Ewoud

If you change this then you will disable autoplay for all the files.

You can also use syntax like: {format/provider}filenameORvideoID|width|height|autoplay{/format/provider} to manually disable or enable autplaying of a video.

Hi Krikor,

Thanks for your reply.

I do not mind to disable autoplay for all files. Therefore can you tell me what I need to change to disable autoplay in general?

I like the fact of working with tags such as {swf}banners/promo{/swf} to add a swf file that is located on the server. A syntax like you mentioned doesn't disable the autoplay. I have used the following syntax:

{swf}path/to/location|600|450|0{/swf}

Maybe I am doing something wrong in the syntax?

If you are using K2 then you can disable Media autoplay from the category's settings, but by default it is already disabled.

Is the swf a flash animation or is it loading an flv video?

Hi Krikor,

I am not using K2, just the default Joomla article. I am not an expert on swf files so the page where you can find the swf files is: crm1.graphiqs.nl/historie/fotoboek

Perhaps it is not possible to disable autoplay? Or should I use Adobe Flash to change something in the file?

I think autoplaying is hardcoded in the swf's timeline.
If you have the .fla files you should stop it from autostarting and re-render it to a new swf file.

Thanks for letting me know. I need to ask the client if they have the .fla files. Or even better, the original pictures so I can create a normal, non flash, slideshow :).

Yes. That would be the best solution.
Flash is outdated and really bad for accessibility.
