C# : How to stop streaminig media on flash content ?

Question

Hello, I'm coding an application in C# that enters a site which contains flash embedded content. But every time a site is entered, the streaming movie starts to play automatically. Is there anyway to stop automatic start of embedded content ?

I can't disable Flash since the entire site is coded in flash; all I want is to stop the embedded movie from playing.

Thanks in advance, John

Answer 1

Most likely you'd need to set a parameter in your embedded (HTML) object or the movie link, depending on the provider. For example, youtube has a similar notion with the autoplay parameter:

Answer 2

You need to have the source to the entire flash site. It might have been written to allow you to set a parameter which it will pay attention to, but most likely it wasn't. You then need to change the ActionScript to either listen to a parameter, or just do what you want (tell the embedded movie clip to stop() in the first frame) by default.
