Simple AS3 Flash Video Player

Simple as3 flash video player

This is a simple video player built with AS3, that supports advertising, rtmp, h264 files including HD files, and it's completely customizable through a simple XML file.

The player can play a video passed as parameter to the "init" function. 
It also can play an intro video before the actual video.
 If there is a preview image passed in the HTML, the the player will show it. It comes with a lot of features which can easily be changed using the XML file (size, colors and other options). It has support for sharing and fullscreen display.

The video player supports H264 files, as well as RTMP and can play mov, mp4, flv files.
 

Features:

- play/pause button (clicking on the video does the same action)
- timer/total time
- draggable volume bar with scrub
- draggable progress bar with scrub
- share (embed code)

- fullscreen
- download button
- auto-hide controls when there is no mouse interaction and on leaving the swf
- disable buttons
- custom colors

Note: The videos used in this file are for display purposes only.

Hello guys,

We completed an update for this component. It's working better now using RTMP streaming. Please update the files, if you're using RTMP.

Hi,
I already purchased this compo.
Just a question.
Can you customize the
Simple AS3 Flash Video Player adding the famous feature regarding Ads or Banners (for example at the bottom of the player).

Let me know.
Thanks
Best

Well... I keep getting error 1010 and 1009 trying to setup the component in a timeline.
No documentation or support to help me out... and the video tutorial i close to useless and more confusing...

I guess i´ll look for another component....

Thanks for downloading our player.

The process of embedding the component and put it to some frame is approximately the same as the tutorials explain.

Unfortunately, we don't have another tutorial, but I'll try to explain how to go with this particular component, anyway. I'll send you an email with an example too.

1. First of all you need to open the project.fla file and copy everything you find in its library in your project's library.

2. Then you'll need to copy the com and caurina folders (from the source folder) in the same folder your project's FLA file is in.

3. Copy the contents of our deploy folder in the same folder as your project's SWF file.

4. In your project's FLA file, after you copied the movieclips in the library, find the movieclip called "mcVideoPlayer" and drag it to the frame you want the video to show. Also, give it a variable name in the Properties panel. Let's say you give the name "mcVid".

5. In the same frame you dragged the movieclip, put this code:

mcVid.init(560, 300, "videoplayer/", "xml/playersettings.xml", "videos/video.flv", "", "images/preview.jpg", "videos/flabell_intro.flv", "Flabell demo video", "images/logo.png", "http://www.flabell.com", "download_file.php");

6. Customize the component if you didn't do this already, using the XML file.

This should do it. I hope that this will help you.

Awesome, Works like a charm, thanks a lot mate!

One more question, is there a way to detect when the movie reaches the end?

I would like to play it as intro for my site, and when it reaches its end, "gotoAndStop" the main page/main menu frame.

Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate

Hi,

I had to make a small ActionScript code addition in the VideoManager.as file. I sent you the file to the email address you sent us emails for support. You'll just need to replace the old VideoManager.as file with the one I sent you.

Also, you'll need to paste this code before the mcVid.init(...) function is called:

                
addEventListener("VideoEnded", function():void
{
   gotoAndStop(10);
});

                

Adjust the frame number you wish to go to and that's it.

Enjoy!

Is there a way to have the sound start completely at zero. Right now the sound can be set to zero but when the video starts the sound starts I believe at 50% and animates down to zero. What I need is for the sound to be just at zero when the video starts.

Hi,

We just completed an update for the component and you should be able to set the volume without fading. You'll just need to download the files one more time and replace the SWF file that you're currently using with the one you'll find in the newly downloaded zip file.
