Embedding video within iframe(?)

I want to embed a Camtasia video within an iframe, but I do not want the video image displayed within the iframe before it is clicked for viewing.

In other words, I am trying to display a more aesthetic looking image within the iframe (for instance a title page with a "Click Here To View"). When the image is clicked upon the video should play within the iframe.

Can anyone guide me in the right direction of accomplishing this?

    Hi pfrofmi

    Maybe I'm missing something but isn't this just as simple as loading your "Click here to view" page into your iframe and having the link point to your Camtasia video?

      Tried that, but even though I created the video the same dimensions as the iframe (including video control bar), the video will not center within the iframe.

      Decided to just host it on YouTube and use the embed code. :-)
