Good Tutorial
( )André April 24th
Maybe usefull for someone, but i really dont like using third party stuffs. I think that a coded tut would be more usefull and more compatible with flash.tutsplus.com, and maybe the using of actionscript 3.0 would be better.
Just my opinions, thanks for sharing the tutorial.
( )Jack April 24th
Yeah, using 3d party stuff it’s not so nice. I found a cool using only as3 at <a href=”http://www.thetechlabs.com/xml/expanding-the-as3-videoplayer/”, which is split in two parts, one creating a simple player like the example on this tutorial, and the second part, adding cool features to it, such as xml content, full screen, and so on.

sorry the link is not ok. it’s Create a Flash Video Player with Actionscript 3.0
( )André April 24th
I have my own class to create videos very easily, in actionscript 3.0, i want to write a tut on how to work correctly with actionscript 3.0, because code in timeline is just actionscript 2.0 with as3.0 syntax, and teach a little bit of object oriented, so anyone can referer to this tut for other tuts AS3.0 based
And the links is not working, but thanks anyway.

Cool Video Player. Thanks for sharing!!
( )RUGRLN April 24th
Not exactly what I would call attractive….
( )Diego SA April 24th
Yeah, really not attractive, but with our layout, this player could be handsome! Just having imagination!
( )samBrown2 April 24th
nice work, good stuff to build on.
( )J Sacco April 24th
Excellent tutorial! Good job.
One thing I did notice that I did the tutorial verbatim but I noticed my video was playing off to the right and bottom. I also noticed that my playhead was starting in the middle.
After some thinking, I reset the registration points of the video window to the top left corner and the timeline registration point to the far left. That made it perfect as in the video.
( )Diego SA April 24th
Useful! Just need to make it more beautiful!
( )moih60 April 24th
great work..
( )Benjamin Reid April 25th
Just what I was after, I’ll definitely consider using this for my screen-casts.
( )FlashJunkie April 25th
Hey guys thanks for the comments, as i said many many times in the tutorial, the design was rushed to keep the video short, you can literaly do anything to the design all that matters is the instance names
More tuts to come from me, my next one is showing you how to use flash.shared object to remember visitor preferences and last sign in.
( )André April 26th
Next tuts, if possible, start using actionscript 3.0, its much better.
And try not using third party stuffs, its much better learn how to do our own code instead of learn how to use third party stuffs.
Thanks for all =)
( )VertigoSFX April 26th
Nice tut, I could definitely use this. I’m not a fan of actionscripting so this is a nice alternative.
( )CgBaran Tuts April 27th

Is there anywhere I can see a list of all the symbol and instance names used? I keep having the scroll through the video to try and find them and I keep getting lost.
Good tutorial though!

ERROR: Could not find ‘linkBTN’ linkage in the Library. From Library panel right-click on linkBTN symbol and select ‘linkage…’. Check ‘Export for Actionscript’ with an identifier of ‘linkBTN’.
( )Drifter May 13th

It is a great tutorial. However, it seems a little complex to me. I like the simple operation with http://www.playerdiy.com. It provides 43 configuration methods to edit the skin of web flash video video player here – http://www.playerdiy.com/configuration/

Can you have multiple players in one flash document?
( )James October 6th
i get an error:
256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.
Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.
HELP please ??? im an ametuer at flash in this type of stuff,
Thanks
( )Serge November 16th
Hey great tut.
Would be great to get a tutorial where you create an awesome theme in Photoshop and then importing it into flash and creating the player from there. Would be nice to include mouse over and active states of each button, and going full screen without the controls resize along with the video
Thanks.
