    Do you distribute this player under GPL licence ?
    For example, can I use it in a high school to stream courses for students ?

  6. admin says:

    Yes. It’s dual licensed, GNU or GPL.

  8. Ali says:

    May one tell me how does it work? Where is the player file in player2.zip? Is there a document that describes the functionality of each file in player2.zip?
    Regards,

    Hi - I understand player.swf is published for FP9, and so player.fla must be a flash 9 file - but surely you could save player8.fla as a flash 8 file for the download?

    Cheers!

    Anthony,

    I can’t, because I made it in Flash 9. You can thank adobe for that complete lack of backwards compatibility.

    Hello. Your work is great for sure. However, I have some suggestions which I think that could be improved:
    1) The control bar can be set to fixed height, which makes it looked better while the player is played on fullscreen or large size mode. Currently the bar is a little bit too large.
    2) Is it possible to add a seamless mode, which, doesn’t have any interface in the flv player. Further commands can be issued by CallFunction & FSCommand to make control of the flow of the playing.

    Thanks.

    Hi, first I want to say, I LOVE this player.
    I want wondering though if/when it will be able to use multiple files(like playlist) where in the code generator you can add say like ,’video_part1.flv’ and also ‘video_part2′ and have part 2 play immediately after part 1, so you can watch both parts without having part one stop after its done and having to click on something to play part 2.
    I hope this makes sense lol
    keep up the great work! :)

    Hello,
    is there a way (an undocumented parameter perhaps) to hide the whole controlbar?
    Regards
