More Than Just Colors

There's more than customizable interface colors, transparencies, and rollover states. FLV Player also allows you to have complete control over how your interface is displayed. Put the interface outside of the video, on top of the video, turn rounded corners on and off. You can even turn on Autohide, which will hide the interface until your users actually need to use it. Here's a quick list of the available properties.

 

  • Rounded Corners - Give your player fresh web 2.0 look and feel.
  • Button Variations - Decide which buttons are included in your interface and which are not.
  • Controls Overlay - Set your interface inside or outside of the video content area.
  • Controls Autohide - Hide the interface until your users actually need to use it.

 

Easy For Designers

The easiest way to change the interface options within FLV Player is to use the Flash Component Inspector once you have placed an instance of FLV Player on the stage. All of the interface options are editable by simply choosing different values right in your Flash interface.

 

Easy For Developers

If you are a seasoned AS3 developer, here's a quick examples of how to setup your own custom FLV Player interface using an external class. We have more documentation in our KnowledgeBase that can lead you in the right direction when it comes to more advanced methods and properties. 
package {
	
	import com.flvplayer.FlvPlayer;
	import flash.display.MovieClip;

	public class FlvPlayerApi extends MovieClip {

		public var myVideo:FlvPlayer = new FlvPlayer();

		public function FlvPlayerApi() {
			
			//setup the video source
			myVideo.vidURL="http://yourdomain.com/media_folder/your_video.mp4";
			
			//video general settings
			myVideo.width = 444;
			myVideo.height = 249;
			myVideo.x = 188;
			myVideo.y = 1;
			
			//video button display options
			myVideo.showbStop = false;
			myVideo.showbBack = false;
			myVideo.showbForward = false;
			myVideo.showbInfo = false;
			myVideo.showbCc = false;
			myVideo.showbFullscreen = false;
			myVideo.showbMenu = false;
			
			//video layout setup
			myVideo.interfaceLayout = "outside";
			
			//add the video to the stage
			addChild(myVideo);
