Have you ever visted espn.com? They have videos on their site that
you can't watch
until you see the ad before it. I believe that on mtv.com's broadband
site you can't
watch their clips until you watch an ad as well...so it's being done
already and a good
way for advertisers to be ensured that their spots will be viewed
since they pay for that
time and space.
I don't personally like it but it works.

Just to piss off your potential customers? You have the right to

What arrogance.
Splash screens are bad enough, this is WORSE!!!

Hi all,
One of the services of my website will be providing flash videos to
distributors. We have developed a "player" swf that takes in an
introductory
swf (mostly likely an ad/commercial) and the .flv video file as
FlashVars
parameters.
Is there a way to provide access to these files to clients and
ensure that
the ad/commercial is played? Specifically, the problem we are
running into
is that the client could develop their own flash player and just
play our
.flv file.
Can we somehow hide the flv file name, while still using external
playback?
Is there a way to get around the problem without combining the
commercial
and video into one file? (If not, anyone know of an easy way to
combine
files dynamically?)
Any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
