Quicktime SetURL from Javascript



Hello,

When I have a Quicktime object embedded in my web page, and I use
Javascript to set its URL, the clip always starts playing immediately,
even if I have the player's autoplay property set to false. Here is a
code snippet:

<EMBED width="100%" height="100%"
TYPE="video/quicktime"
PLUGINSPAGE="www.apple.com/quicktime/download"
name="mediaPlayer"
autoplay="false"
loop="false"
enablejavascript="true">
</EMBED>

Then, in Javascript, I do this:

mediaPlayer.SetAutoPlay (false);
mediaPlayer.SetURL (filename);
mediaPlayer.Stop ();

You can see that I'm really trying to get it to load the darn clip
without playing it, but Quicktime starts playing the song every time
(even though I force a call to SetAutoPlay(false) before calling
SetURL, and call Stop() after calling SetURL())!!!!

Any help would be appreciated ....
