Flash :: Add Abilities To The JW Player (and Customize It)?
Feb 28, 2011
I want to create a custom video player.I already have implemented the default player to play my streamed movies from Amazon S3 and my goal is to : customize completely the skin of the player add new abilities to the player like add text, images, drawings on the video at some cue points.make the player interact with javascript and forms using json for encapsulate the data.A "creator" want to add some text and a drawing on a movie (duration 4:00)He seek 1:30 and add a red bold text label: "Watch this carefully !"He seek 2:05 and add a white rectangle with 50% of opacity to overlay something.The player send json data to javascript.The "creator" submit the form and json-data are inserted in the database.In the frontend, some user play the video and see the text at 1:30 and the drawing at 2:05.What is the best way to customize the player in this case: Create a plugin ? Create a new player extending the JW Player ?

I have done some searching around, and from what it looks like so far, there is no native way to parse JSON in Actionscript/Flex. XML is automagiaclly parsed and life is good. Why isn't JSON parsed this same way?

I am using Flash CS5. In flash the program has a set of buttons already in a folder within the program so you can use them for your website and projects. For those that know the buttons most of them have a text that says "enter". What I have done is dragged the button to my stage and double clicked on it so I can edit it. From there I change the text from enter to something else like say "home". My problem is that when I click duplicate or make a copy of that button and go to change the text it changes the text for my first button too.
So I have my first button that says "home". My second one is going to say "pictures" but when I change the text of my second button to pictures it automatically changes the text of my first button from home to pictures. It seems that the only way I can get my buttons to work is if each button has the same exact text and if I change the text to one button it changes the text to all my buttons and makes it all the same text. How can I fix this so each button has a different text? I have a layer on my main timeline that is called buttons and all my buttons are on there. I am using these buttons for my flash website project but instead of creating them myself I used the ones flash had because I found them a bit more stylish for my taste.
I'm trying to follow this page to launch my AIR native installer application from the browser using "browser invocation"I've loaded the 'badge' sample app into a new "Flex Project (Web)", and made the appropriate changes to the 'AIRBadge.as' file. But I can't seem to use FlashBuilder 4.5 to compile a new 'badge.swf' file which includes my changes.
In my game people shoot at 4 different moving images and get points. Simple right? Well one of the images is a question mark that people can shoot and when they do, I need flash to pause the game timer, pop up a new window, display the multiple choice question in the window and wait for the user to answer. I would also like to be able to customize the size and location of the pop up window!
Then if the question is answered correctly close window award 10 points and continue the game. If the question is answered incorrectly, say wrong and then display the end game results screen. Right now I have it to where it opens a pop up in a web browser and askes the question there. The question is randomly chosen from a file called random.html. But I do not want the game to operate that way. I want the game to open the pop up within flash.

In Flash 8 with AS 2, how to customize the crollbars of ScrollPane component? For example, change the default color of the scrollbars of the component.
What is the best way to set up a game where I can customize my character? I want to be able to let the user select the clothes, skin color, hair style, etc, and then run a preset animation with that character in it, but am unsure how to set this up in Flash other than building a bunch of buttons with all of the possible options (too time consuming and I bet there's a better way).
I am learning Flash CS4, and I would love to be able to customize the key bindings in the ActionScript editor. Ideally I'd like to be able to use Emacs bindings (e.g. CTRL-n to go to next line, CTRL-a to go to beginning of line, etc.), but I don't see any way to set this kind of information. As powerful as I am finding Flash, I am a bit surprised at the limitations of the editor.

I have a video gallery that has 24 different videos to choose from. I am trying to find a way that a user can pick from the 24 to create a new customized list of videos to play. The idea is that a sales rep could choose the videos they want to show to a client and only show those videos. Currently the only way I can think of to do it is for me to edit the xml file with only the list of videos that they want. Maybe there is a way to pick the videos from a list, press an export list button that would then save over the xml file with a new xml file that only has the videos that they selected.
I have a column with 4 fields named : a> Main, b> Forward c> Back d> Link, if I use pre-defined sorting of datagrid with the column names which will be alphabetically, then the order is c>Back b>Forward d> Link a> Main. But, I do not want to sort based on the alphabets. I prefer to sort by names of the column fields. i.e. somehow give priority to each individual column field names. Like pre-define my own order.
