PLAY

Value

`true` | `false`

Template variable:`$PL`

Description

(Optional) Specifies whether the movie begins playing immediately on loading in the browser. If your Flash movie is interactive, you may want to let the user initiate play by clicking a button or performing some other task. In this case, set the `PLAY` attribute to `false` to prevent the movie from starting automatically. The default value is `true` if this attribute is omitted.
