how can same thing flash? possible? or there better way show video across browser incl ie8 - i've looked @ videojs says doesn t support ie8.

thanks

this strictly dependent on type of flash player choose use.

some have api allow programatically play video.

in example. common player flowplayer has such command:

// handle first player on page , start clip $f(0).play();  // handle first player , stop $f().stop(); 

short answer: yes.
