Actually, after reading over your post again, it looks like what you
need is to set autoBuffering: false
autoBuffering: false will prevent the media from loading until the
play button it presses. It differs from autoPlay: false which simply
prevents it from player, but buffers anyhow.
So, your code may look something like this. You can add in and define
a host of different options.
flowplayer("player", 'http://www.your-website.com/path-to-flowplayer/
flowplayer-3.1.3.swf', {
clip: {
url: path-to-your-media,
autoPlay: false,
autoBuffering: false, //<-- THIS IS YOUR GOLDEN NUGGET
seekableOnBegin: true
},
plugins: { // load one or more plugins
controls: { // load the controls plugin
url: 'path-to-controls-plugin/flowplayer.controls-3.1.3.swf',
backgroundColor: '#927150',
timeBgColor: '#000000',
progressGradient: 'low',
height: 20,
scrubber: true,
} //Ends controls
} //Ends plugins
}); //Ends flowplayer
