mmm, i would just create an empty main class and add a new ApdevVideoPlayer instance to that … should work.

awesome thanks. In Flex, i think the Main class needs to be in the src folder, is ApdevVideoPlayer.as the Main class?

hi timbo,
i used FDT (a eclipse plugin for coding AS3) but flex/flash builder should work fine. just create a new AS-only project and copy our files to your new project folder.

cheers

Forgive this dumb question, but I am a noob. What IDE did you use to create this? I am trying to build this in Flex Builder, but I am having problems. I have all of Adobes tools, so I can use whatever would be easiest.

hi udo,
there is a new version available here:
http://apdevblog.com/version-1-0-3-of-the-apdev-videoplayer-released/

i changed the standard colorset of the skinned html videoplayer to a more subtle grey – hope you like it ;)

cheers

great work, but why are these stupid ugly green colors on the control ?
I have no time to configure hundreds of style parameters, before I can use the player.
Why not let the colors in default grey like the jerowing player ?

Hi, I tried out the videoplayer you have created and I must say it is a nice, clean, and tiny player. I did adjust it visually but technically I am still trying to figure out why the controls are not fading out. I looked at the timer event but I could find an immediate solution. Could you please, whenever it is that you read this, just email or post may be a suggestion how to fix it. The controls do disapper when controlsAutoHide is set and the mouse leaves the player, but when the mouse remains within its boundaries the controls are always there. Cool would be too to implement an Event.MOUSE_LEAVE for the whole swf of the player is embedded….

However, you did a really nice work! Thanks a lot. I will try some more things to correct the auto hide functionality…

Cheers from Bremen
