New version of our AS3 open-source VideoPlayer

Hi there.
After some inquiries we finally added the possibility to customize the Apdev VideoPlayer – only changing colors at this time but it’s a first step in the right direction …

skinned Apdev VideoPlayer

You can now change any color of any object/control that is used within the videoplayer – but check the ApdevVideoPlayerDefaultStyle.as for all the attributes that can be manipulated. And it’s up to you whether you change the attributes using pure ActionScript (1) or our html-version of the videoplayer and pass the values in via flashvars (2). With approach 2 you don’t even have to know ActionScript or open a flash-file – just embed the videoplayer-swf into your website and customize it via flashvars.
For further information, see the upcoming examples.

Update using fl.video package w/ Eclipse and FDT3

Hi … while building the fullscreen-videoplayer I came across the problem, that I was using an old SWC for the fl-package within Eclipse. With the recent Flash Player 9 Update 3 release, Adobe added some real nice features to the FLVPlayback component (e.g. the enterFullScreenDisplayState() method).

To get access to the fl-package within your Eclipse/FDT3-project you have to include another linked SWC (besides the playerglobal.swc). I just created a SWC using the newest fl.video classes. So if you are using FDT3 and are in need of these classes – just grab them: Download the FL_PACKAGE.swc.

cheers

FLVPlayback – problems closing NetStream

Today I tried to create a fullscreen-videoplayer using Flash CS3′s own FLVPlayback class. Everything worked fine … untill I tried to remove the videoplayer from stage while it was still loading the flv-videofile. The player wouldn’t stop streaming the file, it just kept on playing the video – even after i had removed it. I googled in hope to find an easy solution to this problem and found this post by Bluekylin.
