This week’s Flash Component: Slick and clean AS3 video player

This flash video player can play H264 video files (.mov, .flv, .mp4) as well as RTMP streams. The navigation hides so the viewer can enjoy the video with no hassle. It comes with a lot of features which can easily be changed using the XML file (size, colors and other options).

For all of us that used AS2 for a long time, we want some things to remain as simple as they were in AS2. So we created our own functions which we use as Prototypes! :-)

duplicateMovieClip

// var mc : MovieClip = mcRating.duplicateMovieClip(new mcStar(), "mcStar" + j);
MovieClip.prototype.duplicateMovieClip = function(obj : *, pName : String = "mcItem") : Object
{
       this[pName] = this.addChild(obj);
       this[pName].name = pName;
       return this[pName];
};

getNextHighestDepth

Make sure that mc is inside mcImages (or whatever movieclip you are using).

// mc.getNextHighestDepth(mcImages);
MovieClip.prototype.getNextHighestDepth = function(scope : Object) : void
{
	scope.setChildIndex(this, (scope.numChildren - 1));
};

Hope this help! :-)

We added additional functionality to the file, and now you can change the position and size of all elements, the colors and the alpha state as well.

Our Flabell Support team gets a lot of emails asking the same question “why doesn’t the content load?”. We decided to share a little knowledge with you, which will help you understand and fix the problem on your end.
