I need to play an audio file in response to a user action. The player must be completely cross-browser compatible, and hopefully use an available plug-in. jQuery.media seems to be the ticket, but while I can get it to work in manual mode, it doesn't autoplay for me.
This may be a problem with player.swf, not jQuery.media(), but this test page: www elearningcorner com / products/media/index.htm shows the problem. The rendered html (viewed by Firebug) looks good to me: <embed height="400" width="400" flashvars="file=elements%2Faudio %2Fhallelujah.mp3" autoplay="true" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="player.swf?file=elements %2Faudio%2Fhallelujah.mp3" style="display: block;"/> I don't see anything wrong there. In fact, if you load the src="player.swf?..." in your browser URL, it plays. I am guessing that the autoplay="true" isn't passed properly, or maybe should be passed in flashvars. I modified the code to pass it in flashvars and IE begins to autoplay, not so in Firefox or Safari. If this is a player.swf revision issue, if you can, please respond with a URL to a working player.swf. ktnxbye.
