Universal Flv Player in AS3

universalFlvPlayer is a basic flv video player written in AS3 using Flex Builder. The player is quite straightforward and can be used within any site, implementation requires no actionscript knowledge. Also adjusting the player can be done without touching the actionscript, global settings are stored in a xml file that is used onload. To adjust the player while loaded a Javascript API can be used.

Features:

fullscreen is not working here on FlashDen, because allowFullScreen is not enabled in HTML

Easy implementation
Elegant minimal design
Flexible Javascript API
XML driven alignment
Loadprogress indication
Fullscreen button
Double click fullscreen toggle
Mouse hide on fullscreen
Controller hide on inactivity
Controller lock
Volume control
Spacebar play/pause toggle
Seek with preview

Important info of non-Flex users

In the example, in order to make it work offline, add the swf to your allowed locations list.

If you would like to compile the player from Flash in stead of Flex download the simpleVideoPlayer.fla

When you do this you wont see any video after hitting the splash image because the flv is normally provided in the Flex generated index.template. So you can either watch it from the example.html (so that it is provided with the flv source) or add an else statement at line 49 in simpleVideoPlayer.as.

That would look like this:

if (root.loaderInfo.parameters.flvSrc!=null) { CanvasManager.videoCanvas.playFlv(root.loaderInfo.parameters.flvSrc); } else { CanvasManager.videoCanvas.playFlv("yourVideo.flv"); }

Hey Shun,

This videoplayer supports flv (as displayed in example.html), not swf video. I don’t know if that is your problem, if not plz send me an email flashden[at]toybot.nl and describe your problem more detailed.

To all you guys/galls, thank you for purchasing and rating the file!

Hello?

Hi,

I am glad I found something in AS3 !

I am already working on an AS2 file and loading multiple flvs into an flv player through xml files. But I am facing the below problem.

I want to load multiple xml files into the same list (container), linked through buttons.

Each xml file has different number of flvs. Now when I load one xml file with 10 flvs and then load 5 flvs through the other list, I can still see 10 flvs in the list instead of 5 new flvs. The list retains the previous bottom 5 flvs and the replaces the top 5 with new flvs. Do you think AS3 will resolve this matter? Would you suggest that your file can be manipulated to do something like this if I buy it? I am not a developer, but do know basic AS2 and AS3 .

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Does the javascript fix the IE 6 /7 problem with active content? (like swfobject?)

there is a bug in the timeparsing resulting in wrong display of time. Replace the parseTime function in Controller.as with the following to fix this:


private function parseTime(rawTime:Number):String
        {
            var seconds:String = String(Math.round(rawTime%60));
            var minutes:String = String(Math.floor((rawTime%3600)/60));
            var hours:String = String(Math.floor(rawTime/3600));
            if(seconds.length == 1){seconds = 0+seconds;}
            if(minutes.length == 1){minutes = 0+minutes;}
            if(hours.length == 1){hours = 0+hours;}

            var time:String = isNaN(rawTime)?"":String(hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds);
            return time;
        }
