adding a Play button to SWF video?

Hi all. I have a unique problem. I used a flash video generator to make a video... It spit out an SWF file (the player), and an FLV file (the video), but when a visitor visits my page, the video starts playing right away, and so it's like WHOA, because they have no idea it's going to be there. They think they're loading the page just to download my game.

http://www.gunreal.com/download.htm

Could someone do me a favor, and add a big Play button to the center of the screen, at the beginning (or show me how to do it using some non-Flash CS3 flash app, if it's a simple process?)

I'm not a flash person - this is the first/only thing I've ever done with it.

There seems to be a play button, its just a matter of getting it to Pause on Start. Not sure how.

Hmm, that didn't seem to change anything. Did I perhaps insert it wrong? (I'm not a coder)

Code:
<object id="flash1" data="movies/movie_player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width: 840px; height: 524px; float: center;" class="style13"> <param name="movie" value="movies/movie_player.swf"> <param name="quality" value="High"> <param name="Play" value="-1"> </object>


I can have the video pause on start by re-exporting the SWF player via Flash Video Studio, but what I *can't* do from Flash Video Studio is add a big Play button to the center of the video, like many flash video sites, so that the user can opt when to start it. I mean, they could just hit the play small button in the bottom left, but it starts off auto-hidden by default, and is hard to spot. Many users will see this giant black area, and not know what it is.
