Auto-load/start RealOne Player

[richardlpalmer]

I've got the situation of an imbedded player on a page and want it to automatically load and start playing after the rest of the page loads.

Currently there's a link to start it, but what I'm needing help on is getting it to automatically load (but only after the rest of the graphics load) and then start.

Is this something any of you know how to make happen?

By the way, if it isn't a script that's needed here but some other sort of add-on or something, let me know.

Also, if this is in the wrong forum I'll move it to the correct one -- I just need some guidance here.

Hi,
at the real.com site You can download very good docummentation about embedding real player in a web page, but generally You'll need these 3 methods:

document.RealPlayer.DoStop();
document.RealPlayer.SetSource(src);
document.RealPlayer.DoPlay();

where document.RealPlayer is:

<EMBED name="RealPlayer" src=# width="0" height="0" type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" CONTROLS="none" CONSOLE="Clip1">

Unfortunately, the keyword is RealPlayer. Your visitors must have it installed to hear any audio...of which most don't because of the low quality. :eek:

Just so my reputation isn't tainted -- this isn't a design idea of mine. It's another's that I'm helping on.
