Preview Image with Object/Embed Method?

I'm trying to show a preview image but I have to use the object/embed method, I'm not having any luck I've tried 'image' and 'poster':

<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' width='500' height='280' id='player1' name='player1'>
<param name='movie' value='player.swf'>
<param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'>
<param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'>
<param name='flashvars' value='image=preview.jpg'>
<param name='flashvars' value='file=video.mp4'>
<embed id='player1'
name='player1'
src='player.swf'
width='500'
height='280'
allowscriptaccess='always'
allowfullscreen='true'
flashvars="image=preview.jpg"
flashvars="file=video.mp4"
/>
</object>

Is there a way to do this with the embed/object method?

You need to use this code:

<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' width='500' height='280' id='player1' name='player1'>
<param name='movie' value='player.swf'>
<param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'>
<param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'>
<param name='flashvars' value='image=preview.jpg&file=video.mp4'>
<embed id='player1' name='player1' src='player.swf' width='500' height='280' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' flashvars="image=preview.jpg&file=video.mp4" />
</object>

You can only have one flashvars line.

@Anu

I suggest that it would be the better served using a playlist then possibly as an event remove the JWPlayer.

You'll just have to peek at the documentation in which method you wish to use.

http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/19824/playlist-support-in-the-jw-player

If oyu wish feel free to visit my web site, www.mirana.net, select the multimedia section and browse around in the video section.

There you'll be able to also view the coding used by selecting the 'view code' button.

You may also need to do some JavaScript to accomplish your wish or task.

Oh, yes! before I forget just make sure that your mp4's are of the H.264 mp4 iso v2 type or format.

Hope this is helpful for you.
