PHP Development: how to disable mouse over of a youtube video ?

If we are embedding youtube videos in our webpage, usually we can play/pause the videos. Even we will redirect to youtube video page. Normally we can’t change the properties of play/pause functionality on mouse over. But we can disable the area of the video by using css .

First embed the youtube video in our page.

After that create a div with absolute position similar as the height and width of the video.
Set a transparent background for that div.

So no event will work on the flash video file. This will be applicable for all flash videos.
