Editing Flash HTML settings 337
Description
Identifies the location of the Flash Player plug-in so that the user can download it if it is not
already installed. The value must be entered exactly as shown. Applies to the
embed tag only.
swliveconnect attribute
Value
true
| false
Description
(Optional) Specifies whether the browser should start Java when loading Flash Player for the first
time. The default value is
false if this attribute is omitted. If you use JavaScript and Flash on the
same page, Java must be running for the
fscommand() function to work. However, if you use
JavaScript only for browser detection or another purpose unrelated to
fscommand()actions, you
can prevent Java from starting by setting
SWLIVECONNECT to false. You can also force Java
to start when you are not using JavaScript with Flash by explicitly setting the
SWLIVECONNECT
attribute to
true. Starting Java substantially increases the time it takes to start a SWF file; set this
tag to
true only when necessary. Applies to the embed tag only.
Use the
fscommand()action to start Java from a stand-alone projector file.
play attribute/parameter
Value
true
| false
Template variable: $PL
Description
(Optional) Specifies whether the application begins playing immediately on loading in the
browser. If your Flash application is interactive, you might want to let the user initiate play by
clicking a button or performing another task. In this case, set the
play attribute to false
to prevent the application from starting automatically. The default value is
true if this attribute
is omitted.
loop attribute/parameter
Value
true
| false
Template variable: $LO
Description
(Optional) Specifies whether the Flash content repeats indefinitely or stops when it reaches the
last frame. The default value is
true if this attribute is omitted.
