Hate to ask this question but I have been banging my head against a wall for a while now. I have an Adobe Air 2.5 app that has been written in Flash CS5. There is a need to play video's from within that app and I am not in the mood to write a video player from scratch. Soooooo... we attempted to use the FLVPlayer from http://devbase.com but could not get the thing to work properly at all through their API.

The video player must go full screen and have the normal playhead scrubbing, play / pause / stop, and volume controls.

Any ideas? Can you make the FLVPlayback control go fullscreen?

One library to take a look at would the the Open source media Framework. It's not a full featured player, but using it as a framework you can write your own custom skin in a day or two. This tutorial will help you get started if you are interested.

It is definitely not a complete video player solution if that what you were looking for, but if you need some level of graphical customization it would be a good option.

  • OSMF can be installed like a component and be controlled through actionscript? – nokturnal Feb 03 '11 at 22:20
  • It is installed by simply adding the .swc into the library. It is controlled through script by creating a MediaSprite and then pointing it to a file to download an play. The developer is still responsible for creating all the controls like play/pause/seek, but OSMF does most of the heavy lifting because you can simply call Load("video_url"); Play(), Seek(), etc... – StapleGun Feb 04 '11 at 17:40
