FLV video loops to first frame then stops.

Hello,
This is my first post so I'm sorry in advance if I forget to include important information. This is also the first site I've built using Drupal.

I'm working with Drupal 6.x, using SWFTools to post a FLV file to my frontpage. The FLV is embedded exactly where I want it, however, when the FLV reaches the end, it loops to the first frame of the movie then stops. This leaves me with a black box (the first frame of the video is black). I tried changing the loop setting the SWFTools settings, from the true to false, and also checked the source code of the page to see whether those changes were taking effect (and they are) and the FLV file still behaves this way. I'm wondering if anyone has any input as to whether this could be a problem with flowplayer or the FLV file I'm creating. I would use a .mov file, but it's too big to upload to the site. The goal is to have a an FLV file embedded on the frontpage that plays when the page loads, then stops at the end (which is a static photo of the store whose site I am building). I want it cleanly embedded, without any player controls.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
