[SWFObject] Movie embedded but does not automatically play!

[Robert Jones]

Hmmmm....it appears that when the schockwave file's size is around 20kb or 
lower, the movie plays automatically, but as soon as the file size 
increases, the movie justs sits on the first frame, when the webpage is run.

Could this be a problem with my hosting or do i need some sort of pre-loader 
or something?


cheers
