resizable video player : zoom + advanced buffering

Last update: 2009-11-28 – see Changelog

This player handles all video formats supported by flash player
which means flv, mp4, mov and codecs like H264 / aac

It uses realtime bandwidth estimation to optimize buffering in order to:
- smooth playback on unstable/slow connections
- start playback as soon as possible

Special code is in place to prevent freezes and unlock playback in
case of forward seek to unbuffered data.

A flexible configuration system allows preferences to be set either by
flashVars or external xml or a combination of both methods.

The player can display cover images, is fully resizable, has fit/fill zooming
and configurable fullscreen which includes:

• automatic ontop
• full or fixed size window
• optional margins.
• optional auto cursor hiding if no mouse activity

Mouse wheel can be used either for seeking or volume: unwanted browser
scrolling is fixed by (included) 1kb javascript code

Can be used standalone as embedded movie player in html pages
or as a component in custom projects: a single player instance can play
multiple streams and is controlled by simple methods like play(), pause(), stop(), etc

Comes with 4 ready to use style’s presets and the interface is fully configurable:

• custom colors for buttons, background and bars
• individual buttons hiding
• optional auto hiding for controls

All this settings are avaible as flashVars or xml options.

The player is pure AS3 , works with flex and provided swf can be
used/configured without Flash IDE at all.

Download package includes sources for both player and application as:

• Flash CS3 FLAs
• Flash Develop projects
• Flex Builder project
