For starters,
The test view of my site is at http://www.robindean.com/main.html
My prediciment ....
When a visitor goes to my site, audio should start playing automatically. I'm using "Wimpy Player" (wimpyplayer.com) to play my flash files.
However, some browsers require that a viewer "click" on a flash file to activate it.
That's a big problem.
My audio playing flash docs are hidden in a frameset that is "0" tall, so when a viewer looks at it through say, Opera for mac (hint), they have no idea what they're missing.
Is there a way to "activate" the flash docs automatically?
If you want to see the hairy code and all, disable javascript in your browser and view the source code for http://robindean.com/audio.html
And another question ... is there a simple object based way to say "if Opera, do this"?
