Implementation :

FlashObjectWebDriver flashApp = new FlashObjectWebDriver(driver, "myFlashMovie");       
    // Pass the URL of video        
    driver.get("http://demo.guru99.com/flash-testing.html");            
    Thread.sleep(5000);     
    flashApp.callFlashObject("Play");           
    Thread.sleep(5000);     
    flashApp.callFlashObject("StopPlay");           
    Thread.sleep(5000);
