I created easy to functionality to extend player. Here is the link:

You pass total of 4 flash variables:
1 2 3 4 5
| var flashvars = {};
flashvars.videoURL = "running man.mp4";
flashvars.autoPlay = 0;
flashvars.isImage = 1;
flashvars.imageURL = "RunningMan.jpg"; |
I’m using swfobject ot embed it in page. So lets say little more about variables:
videoURL is link to video location;
autoPlay is flag, if = 1, then video will start automatically playing. If = 0, then will stay stopped until play button is clicked;
isImage is flag, if = 1, them you have to pass image location to imageURL variable, to be loaded.If = 0, then no image is loaded;
isImage is image location;
Note: autoPlay and isImage cannot be 1 at the same time! Player will throw error. Also please use 0 or 1 for flags, not false or true.
