Load only first frame of Video

I was just wondering if it is possible to just load the first frame of a video in AS3, so I can use it as a screenshot/previ开发者_Python百科ew type of thing?

Thanks in advance :) Harry.

Load only the first frame wouldn't be possible without starting the process to load all video, then, it would take a little while to show the image and pause the video before playing. Some CDNs provide an image url, if isn't your case, you could use FFMPEG to generate your thumbs.
