flash media player is not starting automatically upon web page load

I'm trying to get my flash player to auto play when page is loaded. I'm trying to get it to work in IE8. It shows the player at the bottom and if I hit play it plays just fine. I just can't figure out how to get it to auto play. Here is my code below. Thanks!

<div class="music_container">
<audio controls autoplay loop  style=" width:40px;" preload="none">
  <source src="1.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
<source src="1.wav" type="audio/wav">

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="dewplayer.swf"   width="200" height="20"    id="dewplayer" name="dewplayer">
<param   name="movie" value="dewplayer.swf" />
<param name="play" value="true" />
<param name="flashvars"   value="mp3=1.mp3" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"   />
</object>

</audio>
