Stop flash from loading

Question

I've got a flash video(
http://www1.kanal5.se/brothersandsisters/brothersandsisters.swf
) that is hardcoded to start playing when the page is loaded. But
the page has several different videos and I don't want any to load
unless the user chooses to start it.
I've tried using flowplayer but it doesn't accept that file.
Also the .swf linked above has the controls embedded in the swf
file. Would it be possible to extract and FLV file from that swf or
some other way to get rid of the embedded controls?

Open new FLASH file and on first frame place button which
reads "Load Video" or whatever
is that you find suitable. The action to load it would be
(select button, hit f9 to open
action editor and paste):
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("video.swf", 1);
Make sure that the empty file with button is in the exact
same size as the video swf file.
Now, this will come on top of the button and the button will
remain active what might confuse
visitors if they hover over the video.
You may want to disable the button or make the main movie
with two frames.
Frame 1 has stop(); action and button with nextFrame();
action than on the second frame you have
the loadMovienum action so the button moves timeline to next
frame and no longer exists and than
it loads the video file.
Let me know if I confuse you with something :)
