Keep in mind, there are other ways to get this player up and running, but I feel that this is the simplest way for those who are not developers or internet savy.

Looks great. Instruction 2 - Open the Code Generator html page. Would be good to link to that. Where on earth is it?

Hey, I am having troubles with version 2.2.6
I converted one of my videos to both SWF & FLV. I tried
both and everytime I tried the player it gave me a notice
saying…
“There was a problem loading your movie. Please try again later.”
I also post the two files I need to my server and used the code generator.
Please help me fix this.
Should i use version 3.0
Check out the player. Tell me if it loads for you?

Great player, have been using it for a while now for a clip. One Question:
Am I correct in saying you can not have multiple videos in one webpage using the poster frame functionality in version 3.0? All poster images will be the same “floating file”?
If correct is there another simple way of having multiple videos in one page with different poster images? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Craig

I believe the problem is that for your Movie path you have this ‘Happy-Canada-Day’ where as it should be something like http://www.mysite.com/videos/myvideo.flv
Make movie = the path to your flv, not the name

Craig, I think you are correct in that you cannot have multiple players with different poster images. It looks in one place only for the poster image and it has to be named that specific file name. This is a really shaky functionality right now but in the next release, this will be much more stable.

Thank You admin for helping me!! I finally got it right =D!!

@Craig - the Post-Image issue is now resolved with the release of v3.1

Hi,
I’m having problems with postimage in V 3.1 - I just can’t get the image to display. I’m using the code generator, and tried with .JPG, .GIf and . PNG images. I’ve tried using absolute and relative paths. I’ve tried putting the files in the same directory as the .SWF and .FLV - nothing works.
I’ve then looked at the code on your own site - the mario bros demo - and I can’t find the postimage tag!
What is the solution?
thanks,
Blaise

@Blaise - Could you post the link or email it to me so I can look at the source?
November 4th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Hi,
I’ve copied a version on post.jpg both on the root and on the video folder - no success.
I’m not keen on having the above link public yet…
BTW - Excellent solution! Congrats on the efforts - apart from the post image is works perfectly!

@Blaise - Hey, instead of using post.jpg, use http://www.photographe-mariages.net/post.jpg and it should work. I got it working in my test environment. Let me know if that helps. Also, notice, I removed your link from your comment as soon as I was able to get to it. Thanks.

[...] This version includes a smarter horizontal volume control, some small control design improvements and ability to add Poster Image. I will be posting detailed instructions for the poster image in the Installation section of Documentation. [...]

@Daniel, the code on your web site is wrong. I got it working on my dev machine using the following:
AC_FL_RunContent(’codebase’, ‘http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0′, ‘width’, ‘640′, ‘height’, ‘425′, ’src’, ((!DetectFlashVer(9, 0, 0) && DetectFlashVer(8, 0, 0)) ? ‘OSplayer’ : ‘OSplayer’), ‘pluginspage’, ‘http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer’, ‘id’, ‘flvPlayer’, ‘allowFullScreen’, ‘true’, ‘movie’, ((!DetectFlashVer(9, 0, 0) && DetectFlashVer(8, 0, 0)) ? ‘OSplayer’ : ‘OSplayer’), ‘FlashVars’, ‘movie=http://www.survcor.com/video/get-to-know.flv&btncolor=0×333333&accentcolor=0×20b3f7&txtcolor=0xffffff&volume=50&previewimage=previewimageurl&autoplay=on&autoload=on’);
Also make sure that the rac.js, AC_RunActiveContent.js and OSplayer.swf are in the same folder as the html page.

@Daniel
BTW and FYI the above code is straight from the code generator.
