Help!! I am completely lost…I need to update a customized flash player to play a pre-roll video such as an AD before it plays the main video and I haven’t a clue. I thought it would be similar to the way the “postroll” is currently setup in the code. But tried that and it didn’t work. Basically I have a bunch of Flash Vars for each item and when I embed the player on a page I just call the flash vars. Please see attached fla and txt file with the flashvar code… Any help with this would be Greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!!
