FLV player light help pls

[daximus]

Hey,

I've purchased your player for my project but want to remove the xml and link a video.flv from within my source fla.

I’ve looked at your notes and AS but can’t work out how to modify this… could you help pls.

An example would be great.

Many thanks
Dax

Hi,
To play a certain flv without specifing it in the xml file, just use loadFLV command:

_global.PLAYER.loadFLV("flv url goes here");

You will have to remove line 23 from the first frame action script of the main .fla file.

If you mean loading a movie from the library, that is not going to work. I've created this player to work only with external files, and the video object is action script controlled.

Hi Adrian,

This is great I will give it a try when i get home from work - thanks for your reply by the way.

The reason for avoiding the xml route is that I think it's clashing with some other AS in my horizontal scrolling gallery. The video is buried within several nested mc's and when I use your xml route and player it causes the movie to stutter along... I've tested in another project and it works fine so am thinking if I link the flv directly it might cure the problem - it's a shame cos i think the xml route is ace! – Unless you have any other theories?

Also, am I able to control the video via my fla too? Basically i don't want the video to auto play.

Cheers
Dax

Yes,
You can use applyVars method to initialize the player. Here is a sample code:

var o:Object = {autoplay:"true", autorewind:"true", buffer:"5", ...} // and almost all the other variables you can find in the xml file with values as String

_global.PLAYER.applyVars(o);

I read your post above after i recently downloaded this file. I still can't get it to work within my html file. Can i simply change the loadFLV() in the JS part of my html? Like:

var so = new SWFObject("VPlayer2.swf", "flash2", "606", "486", "8", "#303030");
loadFLV(url:String)
so.loadFLV("orfalea-Oprah-Winfrey-Show-2005.flv");

?

What i'm trying to accomplished is loading dynamic values via ColdFusion into the loadFLV() function, so that i only need 1 player. According to your features, it said this product could do that by just using the loadFLV() function.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David

I also realized that the toolbar doesn't appear in firefox, but it appears fine on your site. Any thoughts?

[Adrian]

the loadFLV method is ActionScript not Javascript. You have to specify the flv file in the xml.

I tried to do that, but i still didn't work. Can you just refund my money? I've already wasted far too much time on this. I'd appreciate it.
Thank you.
