[SWFObject] IE streaming audio does not auto play

[Mike Mountain]

I had issues in IE with Stage.sizes in flash not being initialised with
cached content when using SWFObject - to get round this I put all my
code on frame 2 and suddenly everything worked.
 
You could give that a try?

	I didn't specifically mention this in my first post, but If I
hit the pause button then play the MP3 will start playing. Just another
thing that might help debug this. Thanks everyone.

		An example of what you did would be great thanks. I also
tried putting the flash in an iFrame and dynamically adding the iFrame
to the div on the button click, but the same issue is happening. I
thought for sure that would have fixed it.

			I had a similar problem a few weeks ago on a
project involving a flash piece in an ajax populated div and audio
queued by ExternalInterface calls.  For a while I thought it was an
SWFObject bug (why I joined this list), but I tracked it down to IE's
handling of putting an object in via innerHTML.  For some reason, IE
would embed the object tag correctly, but threw errors on the param tags
as if the object tag wasn't there.  Really odd bug and it was definitely
an IE thing, not a SWFObject thing.  I'll try to post some examples
tomorrow. 
			
			My workaround was to put the flash piece outside
the dynamic div.  Not an option for most projects, but fortunately I had
that freedom on that one.

				hmm, well i'm stumped i think... i can't
think of any reason why that would happen, other than maybe some issue
with IE and using javascript to embed the swf... 

				if anyone else can think of some tests
to run, or maybe a workaround that would be cool :)

				Yeah this works when NOT using
SWFObject. I have tried putting a sobjectname.start(); in the
actionscript on the sound.onLoad event and at the very bottom of all the
code so it would be ran after everything initilized thinking it wasn't
firing the auto-play because of the mp3 being cached. I've noticed my
current working version with pure embed/object isn't caching the MP3,
like it was when I used SWFObject.

				so have you tested without swfobject and
it works? 
				
				have you tried forcing the clip to start
once enough has downloaded?
				you mention that you are relying on the
auto-start to start the clip, 
				but maybe if the audio is cached the
auto start isn't being triggered?
