title: Getting a flash slideshow to play automatically
body: <p>So I just embedded code for a slideshow from Flickr onto the front page of our library website.  I apologize in advance for knowing practically nothing about html.  I used a website that generated the html for me.  The slideshow looks good and is functioning correctly.  However, you currently have to push the "play" button in order for the slideshow to begin.  What do I need to change in the code to cause it to begin playing automatically when a person first visits the site?  Here is the code generated by flickr slideshow:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div style="width:400px;height:400px; padding-bottom:10px; text-align:center;margin:auto;" &gt;&lt;object width="500" height="500" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt; &lt;param name="flashvars" value="offsite=true&amp;amp;lang=en-us&amp;amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fmoorelibrary%2Fshow&amp;amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fmoorelibrary%2F&amp;amp;user_id=10214752@N03" /&gt; &lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /&gt; &lt;param name="src" value="https://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649" /&gt; &lt;embed width="100%" height="100%" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649" flashvars="offsite=true&amp;amp;lang=en-us&amp;amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fmoorelibrary%2Fshow&amp;amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fmoorelibrary%2F&amp;amp;user_id=10214752@N03" allowFullScreen="true" /&gt; &lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;Created with &lt;a href="http://www.flickrslideshow.com"&gt;flickr slideshow&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><em>Edit</em> This website is mangling my code formatting and I'm not sure how to prevent it from doing that. </p>
