Create the video is so simple like show these actionscript line ahead:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 | package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import com.dLibs.video.videoPlayer; public class main extends MovieClip { private var videoObject:videoPlayer; private var videoURL:String = "http://adobe.edgeboss.net/download/adobe/adobetv/flasher_magazine/issue_1/issue1.mp4"; private var videoWidth:uint = 700; private var videoHeight:uint = 400; private var videoStart:Boolean = false; public function main():void { videoObject = new videoPlayer(videoURL,700,400,false); videoObject.addBuffer = newBuffer; videoObject.addPlayPause = playPause; videoObject.addMuteSound = muteIcon; videoObject.addDuration = seekControll.theTime; videoObject.addSeek = {progress:seekControll.seekProgress, loader:seekControll.seekLoader}; newVideo.addChild(videoObject); // @ Change status of playPause Button playPause.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changePlayPause); } private function changePlayPause(m:MouseEvent):void { if ( m.currentTarget.currentFrame == 1 ) { m.currentTarget.nextFrame(); } else { m.currentTarget.prevFrame(); } } } } |
In resume the videoPlayer object receive three variables:
• URL of video, width and height of video.
By default this video will play when buffer is full, but can change it sending ‘false’ withe the fourth variable that is if the video will start or not on load buffer complete. Other optional variable is buffer time. The complete object is:
new videoPlayer(videoURL:String,videoWidth:uint, videoHeight:uint, videoStart:Boolean = true, videoBuffer:uint = 10)
Now you can put the playpause button, mute button and seek too:
19 20 21 22 23 | videoObject.addBuffer = newBuffer; videoObject.addPlayPause = playPause; videoObject.addMuteSound = muteIcon; videoObject.addDuration = seekControll.theTime; videoObject.addSeek = {progress:seekControll.seekProgress, loader:seekControll.seekLoader}; |
After that you need add this object in your stage and now see your video into Flash using Actionscript 3 easy.

Can you resize the video object once it has been created and while it is playing?
I havent been able to find the attribute to set
width does not work.

If you download the repository will se a new class path: novesfora. Inside novesfora have other folder ‘video’ and have two classes, the base classe is VideoPlayer.as and with this you can resize your video, width or height, all the time.
Create your videoPlayer object and set the config data
var video:VideoPlayer = new VideoPlayer();
video.config(width,height);
Its easy. Tryit
