I have captioning working with the FLVPlayback/FLVPlaybackCaptioning components. My skin has a caption button, and it toggles the captions on and off. What I can’t figure out is how to get the player to start with captioning off by default.

I’ve googled around a bit and all I’ve found so far indicates that this might not be possible if the caption button is in a skin. Is this true? I find it hard to believe that this is so difficult to accomplish.

Does anyone know of a solution to this issue?
