TinyMCE Moxie Player Media Splash Image?

Question

Is there a way to get moxie player, which is packaged with TinyMCE, to display a splash image when you embed a video via the WYSIWYG tool? I've been Googling and playing with it for a while with no success at this point. I'm using TinyMCE 3.4.2 in production and have tried 3.4.3 in development, but it doesn't seem to work correctly. Honestly, I'm not even sure what the actual params are for this player since the documentation on the legal flashvars appears to be non existent. From what I can tell, the "poster" param should be what I need, but setting that when I embed the video object seems to do nothing. The only official documentation I've found so far is: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/wiki.php/Plugin:media and that just gives the general params to pass into TinyMCE for the media plugin itself, not how to actually use the player.

Here is what I'm currently setting in the flashvars param tag

<param name="flashvars" value="url=http%3A//url/to/some.flv&amp;poster=http%3A//url/to/some.jpg" />

Any ideas? I'd prefer to keep using the stock TinyMCE implementation if at all possible and this player, along with the WYSIWYG tool otherwise addresses the business issue perfectly for my company.

You can't do it with current version of moxieplayer.

swfdump (from Flex SDK) on moxiplayer.swf doesn't show any reference to the poster parameter, just the url one.
