Video player

I've put in the basic video player code thats in dreamweaver but it doesn't give an option where you can put a picture in the video player which shows until the video starts

The code I have is:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_CheckFlashVersion(reqVerStr,msg){
  with(navigator){
    var isIE  = (appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 && userAgent.indexOf("Opera") == -1);
    var isWin = (appVersion.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") != -1);
    if (!isIE || !isWin){  
      var flashVer = -1;
      if (plugins && plugins.length > 0){
        var desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash"] ? plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description : "";
        desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] ? plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"].description : desc;
        if (desc == "") flashVer = -1;
        else{
          var descArr = desc.split(" ");
          var tempArrMajor = descArr[2].split(".");
          var verMajor = tempArrMajor[0];
          var tempArrMinor = (descArr[3] != "") ? descArr[3].split("r") : descArr[4].split("r");
          var verMinor = (tempArrMinor[1] > 0) ? tempArrMinor[1] : 0;
          flashVer =  parseFloat(verMajor + "." + verMinor);
        }
      }
      // WebTV has Flash Player 4 or lower -- too low for video
      else if (userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv") != -1) flashVer = 4.0;

      var verArr = reqVerStr.split(",");
      var reqVer = parseFloat(verArr[0] + "." + verArr[2]);
  
      if (flashVer < reqVer){
        if (confirm(msg))
          window.location = "http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash";
      }
    }
  } 
}
</script>
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<body onLoad="MM_CheckFlashVersion('7,0,0,0','Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Do you want to download it now?');">

I've looked on a few sites but all it says is that it can be done but not showing how to do it :confused4
 
Your flash object needs an ID to do that with JavaScript for one, which you do not have. Then, when you do that, use innerHTML or something to dynamically remove the flash object on-the-fly and replace it with something else.

After your movie has done loading, your player needs to send a flag to javaScript to trigger the innerHTML again to tell the page to undo the replacing of the flash.

I don't recommend editing the flash object directly, use a div container around it instead, and use innerHTML to set the div show state to hidden, and display an image instead.
