Description
When my flash are uploaded they shows like a black "box". How can I get it to show "the first picture" in the movie?
I use SWF Tools . Everything is functions fine else.

What are you playing back? SWF files, or video files via one of the SWF Tools players?
If you are playing back SWF then what gets displayed depends how you write the swf - flash node just displays it.
If you are playing back FLV or MP3 files through a player, then how you set the initial image depends on the player you are using. Typically you pass an appropriate flash var (which you can do with flash node).
The method for the Wijering media player is described on this page of the flash node documentation.
