Hi all-

Sorry if someone has addressed this before (I didn't see a thread dedicated to this question, so I started one).

Does anyone know if there's a way to put a still image in the player screen if I've deselected autoplay. I don't want the video to play right away, but the white box is not very attractive - I'd like to be able to put the company logo and "Play Video" or something in there.

Any advice anyone has would be great!

Thanks!

I have a gallery setup to not auto play and it always loads the first image in the window.:) I can't hear what I'm looking at when it's so easy to overlook something I'm not looking for.

examples of what can be accomplished in VSD.

Aren't you referring to a Photo Gallery there, rather than the video player that Sean is asking about?
( - or am I missing something...? :/ )
I would have the same question as Sean, though. It would be nice to be able to put an image on the blank screen! Per

Sorry. My Mistake.:)
I agree with Per. I can't hear what I'm looking at when it's so easy to overlook something I'm not looking for.

Sean...I have a feeling that you are going to have to add this one to the suggestions thread for this application ...unless someone suddenly comes in here with some kind of solution. http://www.venicefromtheinside.com

Just a point, you can open the skin in an image editor, ( depends on the skin ) and add an image into it.

Bruzer - I was playing around with the different skins and figured that out.

I put it in Photoshop and created my own "blank screen" for the body and it worked brilliantly. I also made new buttons and changed the gradient.

:D

Bruzer and Sean, could you provide a little more detail on how you did this (added the picture to the still screen when not auto-playing)? I need to do this as well :) used to know how to do it in flash 4 (yikes I'm old)

thanks!
