Possible to autoplay embed video? (not youtube)

[themoon]

I have successfully embed this streaming video:

<div id="vid" style="position:absolute;left:990px;top:880px;">
<iframe src="http://embed.live.huffingtonpost.com/HPLEmbedPlayer/?segmentId=50f35f5efe3444768d0000b2" width="350" height="174" frameBorder="0" scrollable="no"></iframe>
</div>

Is there anyway to make this autoplay though?

Bonus: Is there anyway to remove the controls too?

I take it no one knows?

Perhaps if you were to use a <video> or <object> tag to actually embed the video in your page you would then have access to functionality like that. Currently you don't have the video embedded in your page so the functionality available is specified by the site the video is on.
