The parameters to pass to embedded media players are completely unstandardised, and common media players support difference names and functionalities. You could try setting playcount to 0 in addition to loop, and setting controls to hidden in addition to showcontrols.

This is just one of many ways in which embedded media players are unreliable. In this decade I would strongly recommend avoiding them. Flash video has much wider deployment and user acceptance, and there's HTML5 <video> (not widely-enough supported to use as a sole delivery method yet, but a nice alternative to bolster the Flash, until more browsers implement it).
