Anyone know why I need to right click on this SWF in the browser and select play to get it to play? Ive tried adding a couple autoplay lines but its not doing anything.

Because Flash is shit and browsers are increasingly viewing it with the distrust it rightfully deserves, requiring an exception or user-confirmation to run?

I dont know what that means, for me personally. Whats the difference between me and anyone else that needs to view this. Im pretty sure ive made SWFs that auto-played pretty recently. Not sure why this one wont.

All major browsers have enabled a "click-to-Flash" or similar security blocker for SWFs over the past years; Chrome has a sandboxed (e.g. more secure) Flash plug-in embedded in the app so they're the last major browser to do this as of this year.

It's a technology on life support, if that. I'd avoid using it, starting all the way back in 2011.
