?
Hey this is awesome! Very nicely done and well organized. I am sorry to bother you. I’m new in the world of flex but know actionscript 3.0 relatively well. I was wondering how you would retrieve the source of the video from XML so that you could have multiple videos and maybe use a tileList component or something to view the rest of the videos for them to select. If you could point me in the right direction that would be awesome!

this looks great! is it possible for there to be a buffering icon when it gets stuck on a slow connection? right now it just stops dead which isnt ideal- i am willing to code it myself but not sure where to start…
Hi there,
i have finished my portfolio web site, and thank you so much for this component!!
i have used it in my animation category.
by the way, it was silly that i was getting this error in FXSlider.as class, which says that systemManager is null; so it wasn’t able to add the necessary event listener for the mouse up event; and when i removed the line, the thumb would stick to mouse..
so i moved this line of code:
systemManager.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
to the onMouseDown event handler; where i suppose that the systemManager is no longer null, and it solved my problem..
Thanks a lot, again, for the hard work -)
cool
Thanks a lot for source code.

Hi,
I wrote a test class and tried running a video using FXVideo class. It doesnt work. Can you help me here please. I am using SWF viewer in FDT to run the test class. video1.flv is in the same folder as FXVideo.swf. Here is the snippet -
var vid:FXVideo= new FXVideo();
vid.createChildren();
vid.autoPlay=true;
vid.source = “video1.flv”;
vid.load();
vid.play();
Thanks in advance.
AKaushik.
is there any way i can play full screen flv with this player in flex application?
@rox: Thanks for the feedback! I’m aware of the problem and I’m working on it.
@mukesh: No, the player does not support full scree mode.
@Emanuil: when you finish it, pls let a message here
thanx in advance!
@Emanuil: try to use meta duration to get length video with MetadataEvent,i did and i thinks it’s ok
Thanks for the suggestion!
does this component work in flex 2 or only in flex 3? i am using flex builder 2 to i get errors when i try to use the component.
It may not. I’m sorry.
[...] is a simple youtube interface created in flex using the as3-youtube-data-api . I also used the Flex Video Player from http://www.fxcomponents.com/ and Kingnare theme from [...]
Is there anyway to make a video full screen?
No, the current version of the video player does not support full scree mode.
It is not very difficult to add that feature, juste mix FX Video Player and FSVideoPlayer
Code of the class is here
http://code.google.com/p/flex-tube/source/browse/trunk/com/fs/FSVideoDisplay.as?r=8
The mix rocks
Thanks

Great work. Excellent source code. It is very easy to learn for beginners
Hi, Thanks for sharing player open source. I downloaded and embeded into my flex application. It was working with normal flv, But it was not working with rtmp url. Can you pls let me know what wrong on my code.
[Bindable] private var source:String = “rtmp://202.4.234.150:80/vod/DWS/MonthlyCommentary/AgriDec08.flv/agridec08.flv”;
Thanks

Hi.
I’m having some trouble with the FXVideo Player. When I’m trying to play a streaming video (rtmp, ondemand) it seems that the audio starts twice creating and echo effect….
It seems that the player starts to play before the video has been able to fully load or something like that??
When using http prog download everthing works fine.
I’m wondering if my flash streaming provider needs to do anything at the serverside for this to work?? Not hosting the files myself….
Anyone else that has experienced this?
Please, I’m getting desperate
Thanx!
Yep, I’m having the same problem with an rtmp stream - audio echo. Did you manage to resolve your issue?
Here same problem.
The volume-buttons seems not to work because the other video in the background is playing, and this video is not influenced by the buttons.
It only appears the first time the videoplayer is opened. After this “background-video” has finished playing, and the “normal-video” is played again, the echo is gone.
Looking forward to a workaround or solution.
Is it possible to synchronize two separate video using either progressive or streaming technique.
Please help me…as i really need it…
thanks in advance
This worked great for me, thanks a ton. I’ve been doing flex for just a few months, I found this control very easy to use. Thanks also to raphaele for pointing to the resource on how to add full-screen support. I was able to add a full-screen button without too much trouble.

Hey, how can I fix bug, in code i have autoPlay=”false”, but player stil plays 1-0.5 second befovere every video and only thas stops
(sorry 4 my eng)
The player is designed to play the first segment of the source video immediately after VideoEvent.READY is dispatched. This was developed to address a bug in the latest Flex SDK at the time I was working on the player. I believe you can find the code responsible that behaviour in a private function called onPlayheadUpdate (line 449) in the FXVideo class.
I’m working on a version 2 of the player where this will be handled in a more elegant fashion.
Hi,
I’m having the same problem. Can you please advise where to look on the code so can avoid That first segment from playing immediately after start. I looked at line 449, but I cannot see anything related to that problem.
Your help is much appreciated
Thanks
Hi,
I had the same problem in this wonderfull player. I changed some things in the private function onPlayheadUpdate(event:VideoEvent):void
I removed the code block
if(flo && playheadTime > -2)
{
thumbHookedToPlayhead = true;
stop();
flo = false;
if(_playPressed)
{
play();
}
}
and added
thumbHookedToPlayhead = true;
flo = false;
as the last two lines of the function.
I don’t understand the reason for the if-statement but without it and the two variable values the video’s play without any play-stop-play.

Hi folks,
I’m experiencing problems with playing RTMP(T) streaming video. This (probably) has to do with the VideoDisplay component from the Flex framework, but since the FXVideo is descendant of that component here’s my questions: Could one provide me with a sample where RTMP/RTMPT streaming functions properly with FXVideo? Where in the FXVideo code I can address
issues caused from the underlying NetConnection object?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
sbogus
Thanks for this great component! Although I am by no means a Flex expert, I managed to add video smoothing and providing the source file via parameter to the SWF file. For some kind of an awkward application, I’d appreciate one more thing: being able to manipulate the soundTransform.pan parameter (panning the audio track left and right). Unfortunately, this seems to be a nontrivial task…. I made numerous attempts, but did not get the desired effect

hi
i can’t seem to switch video’s on the fly…
am i doing something wrong?
Hey Emanuil,
Thanks for the great and very simple player you’ve created!
I’m having some troubles getting the player to size properly. I’m creating the player on the fly in AS3 with the below code. I’m trying to get the player to fill the entire size of the cvMedia object that its being added to. Any suggestions?
if(this.vidPlayer == null) {
this.vidPlayer = new FXVideo();
this.vidPlayer.maintainAspectRatio = true;
this.vidPlayer.setStyle(”bottom”, 0);
this.vidPlayer.setStyle(”top”, 0);
this.vidPlayer.setStyle(”left”, 0);
this.vidPlayer.setStyle(”right”, 0);
// this.vidPlayer.setStyle(”width”, “100%”);
// this.vidPlayer.setStyle(”height”, “100%”);
this.vidPlayer.setStyle(”x”,0);
this.vidPlayer.setStyle(”y”,0);
}
this.vidPlayer.autoPlay = false;
this.vidPlayer.visible = true;
this.vidPlayer.source = url;
cvMedia.addChild(this.vidPlayer);
this.vidPlayer.load();
Nevermind, I found it… Didn’t know there was a percentWidth property out there.
thanks a lot
