Add play button to SWF

We have a tutorial video created a few years ago by a former staff member. It's a self contained SWF file with layers and controls all inside the SWF. I can add it to a page with the TinyMCE video control but unless I set the SWF to autoplay, all you get is a big blank square where the video should be. You have to know to right click to start playing the SWF.

Is there a way in Umbraco that I can add a play button?

Only thing I can think of, is to use some Jquery and an iFrame. I don't know any way to trigger the playbutton outside of the SWF. So you put the SWF in a static page somewhere and load the static page with autoplay.

like this. (put in the correct links, pictures and paths).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Title of the document</title>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <style>
        #player {
            height: 256px;
            width: 512px;
            background-color: black;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="player"><img src="/..images/presstoplay.png" alt="Press to play" id="player-imgbtn" height="256" width="512" /></div>
    <script>
$(document).ready(function () {
    var $iframeTarget = "../staticpages/flash/tutorial_one.html";
    $("#player-imgbtn").click(function () {
        $("#player-imgbtn").remove();
        $("#player").append("<iframe width='512' height='256' frameBorder='0' scrolling='no' src='" + $iframeTarget + "'></iframe>");
    });
});</script>
</body>
</html>
