Hi Folks.

A client wants a video added to their page. They supplied an FLV file.

In Flash (oh, how I hate Flash) I embedded it in a SWF, added a
control skin, and Published it. Then I use SwfObject to bring it into
the page.

I'd like it to load with the video paused, but the video starts right
up on load.

Here's the page <http://www.sa.sdsu.edu/cps/about_us-video.html>

I tried adding a Stop action on the first frame of the SWF, no effect.
Also, in the Flash html publish settings, I selected the "Playback -
paused at start" option, which added the parameter ('play', 'false',)
the the Flash-generated html file, so I added that to my SwfObject
code like this...

var so = new SWFObject("video/cps-video-tour-4.swf", "tour", "480",
"320", "9", "#FFffff");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addParam("play", "false");
so.write("tour");

But the movie still plays on load.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get it paused on start? Is that a
function of the FLV file itself?

TIA,

Keith
