Playing flash video when a click is required to start?

Is there any way to get a flash video to play when a click is required to start it? I would like to be able to programmatically visit a site that has a flash video and then click on the start button.
I have looked into Selenium, but there doesn't seem to be an easy solution there.
If said site is Youtube you could use Greasemonkey to start the player since it now has a javascript API. If not, maybe a sample link and I can try to help you?

Response by poster: It has been mentioned that it can be done with Selenium.

But I'm not clear on the details and would like a concrete example.
For instance, I would like to make this video play in an automated fashion.

It currently requires user interaction in the form of a click.
