Display of webpage when first accessed.

When a webpage having multiple 'swf' displays is accessed via Firefox, only one of the 'swf' displays is running. The other 'swf' displays show a large arrow. (image swfdec-init.jpg). When I right click on these displays, the 'playing' property is unchecked. (image swfdec-prop.jpg). When each display has the 'playing' property checked by hand, the webpage displays everything normally. (image swfdec-all-enabled.jpg)

It would be very nice if swfdec would auto-start all 'swf' displays in a webpage.

In the current unstable series (0.7.x) there is an autoplay feature where you can set to play or not a flash file automatically wrt the host it come from.
That autoplay thing is already discussed on other bug so i'm closing as duplicate.
