(Optional) Specifies whether the browser should start Java when loading Flash Player for the first time. The default
value is

false

if this attribute is omitted. If you use JavaScript and Flash on the same page, Java must be running for

the

fscommand()

function to work. However, if you use JavaScript only for browser detection or another purpose

unrelated to

fscommand()

actions, you can prevent Java from starting by setting

SWLIVECONNECT

to

false

. To force

Java to start when you are not using JavaScript, explicitly set the

SWLIVECONNECT

attribute to

true

. Starting Java

substantially increases the startup time for a SWF file; set this tag to

true

only when necessary. Applies to the

embed

tag only.

Use the

fscommand()

action to start Java from a stand-alone projector file.

play attribute/parameter

Value

true | false

Template variable:

$PL

Description

(Optional) Specifies whether the application begins playing immediately on loading in the web browser. If your Flash
application is interactive, let the user initiate play by clicking a button or performing another task. In this case, set
the

play

attribute to

false

to prevent the application from starting automatically. The default value is

true

if this

attribute is omitted.

loop attribute/parameter

Value

true | false

Template variable:

$LO

Description

(Optional) Specifies whether the content repeats indefinitely or stops when it reaches the last frame. The default
value is

true

if this attribute is omitted.

quality attribute/parameter

Value

low | medium | high | autolow | autohigh | best

Template variable:

$QU

Description

(Optional) Specifies the level of anti-aliasing to be used. Because anti-aliasing requires a faster processor to smooth
each frame of the SWF file before it is rendered on the viewer’s screen, select one of the following values based on
whether your priority is speed or appearance:

Low

Favors playback speed over appearance and never uses anti-aliasing.

Autolow

Emphasizes speed at first but improves appearance whenever possible. Playback begins with anti-aliasing

turned off. If Flash Player detects that the processor can handle it, anti-aliasing is turned on. Note: SWF files
authored using ActionScript 3.0 do not recognize the

autolow

value.

Autohigh

Initially emphasizes playback speed and appearance equally, but sacrifices appearance for playback speed

if necessary. Playback begins with anti-aliasing turned on. If the frame rate drops below the specified frame rate, anti-
