[COLOR=black]Hello everyone. I’ve got a quesiton for you Flash 8 video gurus…I’ve got websites that I’m using Flash 8’s incredible video delivery on, for example, Billy Idol’s keyboardist Derek Sherinian’s site. I’ve been looking everywhere for a way to get the flash video NOT to automatically play. I.E. if a visitor wants to view the video, they’d have to physically push PLAY on the control.

Can you guys help me out? Thanks very much!
