Sorry if that has been covered, I'm new to Xara Web Designer. Love the software so far!
I have embedded an MP4 video into my webpage and it works fine - but when the page is first loaded, the video appears as only a white box with the play arrow. Is there a way I can use an image ("thumbnail") instead of the white box?
Take a screen shot of the movie when it plays and place it on your page 'behind' the MP4 placeholder.
Great, thanks. Got it work in IE, but the thumbnail won't show up in Firefox. Any tips?
Please add wmode="transparent" to the <embed tag like this:

Worked perfect, thank you! One last question and I'll shut up. The MP4s seem to need to "pre-load" before it can be played - is there a way to let it play streaming so that playback starts when the site visitor clicks play?
This works great! Now what I would like to see is when the clip ends it doesn't freeze at it's last frame, but
returns to it's orignal state [frame 1 ?] or somehow unloads.
If this can be done it will once again reveal the opening 'screen shot' thumbnail...
Thanks for any assitance...
