[Xerte] Problems setting autoPlay from script - Desktop Xerte 2

[Paul Swanson]

I thought autoPlay was Boolean (true or false), so the values should be
either 1 or 0. If that doesn't work, try using the onMovieReady event
instead of onLoad. You might be running into an instance where the movie
isn't ready for playback, even though it is loaded.

I'm totally stuck and sure I'm doing something really stupid.

Setting the autoPlay property of a swf in its onLoad event with the
following code:



if (looping == true) {
    graphic.autoPlay = 2;
} else {
    graphic.autoPlay = 1;
}
debug(graphic.autoPlay);



 "Looping" is set when the page begins (this is a modification to the
swf template).  The debug statement gives the value expected, but the
behavior of the swf just ignores it.  It seems to be completely
controlled by the value set by hand in the properties panel. 

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks!
