Flash Video Player Need Help

Hello everyone I am hoping someone here can help me.  I am going to school and I have an action scripting class.  For my final project we have to make a flash video player with a custom skin to upload to our websites. We did something similar to this with our first project which we made a player where the movies where embedded in the file itself but this is supposed to be a youtube like flash player where we can call in the files from another source.   
  We kind of got pressed for time and were not able to go into detail with this project so the teacher gave us the code and I put it in exactly how it should be but im pretty sure i have something misplaced or I am missing a step. I get 8 different errors when I go to test the movie. and nothing works.  Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or can you point me in the direction of a tutorial on this  as I have been searching for tutorials on this with no luck. 
Here is my Action Script 3.0 CODE:
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import fl.controls.List;
var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
vid.source= "fashion.flv";
addChild(vid);
vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
vid.x=100;
vid.y=300;
vid.skinAutoHide="true";
vid.width=500;
vid.height=280;
var vidList:List = new List();
vidList.x= vid.x+10;
vidList.y= 200;
vidList.width=200;
vidList.height=100;
vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
addChild(vidList);
vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
function playVid(e:Event):void{     
vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Here is a screenshot of the errors I am receiving.
Please help me 
thanks

I don't know if what you posted is all that is in that as file, but you need to declare a package, then call the import statements, then declare the class name.  Like this:
package {
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.events.Event;
     import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
     import fl.controls.List;
     public class Main extends Sprite {
          public function Main() {
               var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
               vid.source= "fashion.flv";
               addChild(vid);
               vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
               vid.x=100;
               vid.y=300;
               vid.skinAutoHide="true";
               vid.width=500;
               vid.height=280;
               var vidList:List = new List();
               vidList.x= vid.x+10;
               vidList.y= 200;
               vidList.width=200;
               vidList.height=100;
               vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
               vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
               vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
               addChild(vidList);
               vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
          function playVid(e:Event):void{     
               vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Then click on your stage in Flash, then open the properties window, and fill the Class text field with:   Main
Make sure the as file is saved in the same folder as the flv.

  • Basic question about Flash video. Please Help

    Hello,
    Sorry for the noob question but I'm struggling with the basic
    understanding about the Flash video.
    I just need to reduce a large video file to a small size with
    a nice quality and the Flash Video Encoder does very god job with
    that. But when I double click the compressed .flv file it opens as
    a blank screen in the stand alone player without playing any video.
    I can use Dreamweaver to produce a web page playing the file, but I
    don't need this file for posting it on a web page, I just want the
    file smaller and to simply play it on my computer or send it to
    others.
    What is the way to do this?
    I appreciate your help.

    It sounds like you're not having problems with the actual
    compression of the videos, just the playback, correct? All you need
    is a standalone player that plays FLVs. Like Quicktime Player plays
    MOVs, and Windows Media Player plays WMVs, you need something to
    play the FLV files. There are many free options available. On a
    mac, I use something called, strangely enough, SWF & FLV
    Player. You can find it here:
    http://mac.eltima.com/freeflashplayer.html
    Just do a search for FLV players and you should find
    something appropriate. The only downside is you'll need to make
    sure anyone you're distributing the videos to also has an FLV
    player. If you're sending your files to just a few people, no big
    deal. If this is for the public in general, you would want to embed
    a Flash video player in an HTML page and send it like that.
    Hope that helps.

  • Insert Yume ads in flash video player

    Hi,
    I am working on a flash video player where i want to insert
    yume ads. The sdk and integration guide provided by the yume people
    is not that good. Can anyone help me out on this?

    I'm having same inconvenience while integrating YuMe Ads Module in my project.
    YuMe's documentation is really bad & pretty confusing.
    I would like any helping blog post or forums thread elaborating the solution in this regard.
    Here Now I have done some manipulations with code in AS2 based player.
    please have a look at it. I was trying to run it locally while connected to internet so it may load ads from the online source defined. But it does not load anything. I have also made the controls btns hidden, as i dont need them.
    I dont know if I just need to upload these files on web server and test it online to get it working. Not Sure.
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • Best export from FCP4.5 for conversion to Flash video player?

    Hi,
    I'm prepping a 5 min edit production for the best web presentation w/o excessive file size / loading time. The production has a lot of subtle detail & layered images so there a lot of opportunities for this to turn to mud (shot on low grade digital consumer video camera & also in lower light settings).
    I exported in H264 at med quality & got a good looking 75 meg file. Tried uploading to YouTube, fearing the worst, and it actually created something decent from that file. I could just link that embedded file to the intended website, but I dont want that YouTube logo in the corner. I'd rather recreate what they do in Flash w/o the logo.
    Does anyone have info on what YouTube does to the videos it processes into those flash video player files? Compression or resolution settings? It looks like going that route will give better results that can be universally viewed than the standard mpeg route. (file size & universal viewing on all platforms are my only reason not to post in H264).
    Are these issues best solved going from a big FCP export and handled with settings in Flash? Or is there some export choice in FCP that will give best (size & res) quailty with minimal influence needed from Flash?
    I've tried Compressor but havent been able to get any results from it. I just get errors that I dont understand. If thats the solution, I'll dig into that further, but would appreciate any tips / guidance.
    thanks

    You could try Sorenson 3 at 640x480. Try a quality setting of about 80 percent.

    You can't play the FLV itself with flash player, and flash
    player is not an executable
    stand alone application, that's why you can't find it, it's a
    browser component only.
    To view FLV you need SWF which can then be run within
    browser. There is no direct
    playback for FLV files. Google for FLV PLAYER, there are some
    3rd party players
    on line.

  • Hyperlink to Flash Video Player

    Does anyone know how to push a specific video to a Flash

    Without seeing this is a guess, but if you are linking to the
    swf directly
    then that is what happens. Create a new page with the movie
    on it and link
    to it, then it should size correctly.

  • No buttons in Flash video Player

    Hello,
    i can't see navigation buttons in my Flash video player.If I
    run the swf alone there are all the buttons but in my page is onli
    the video picture but not buttons.What should I do? Can somebody
    help?

    I am having the problem mentioned above and would really
    appreciate a solution. Here's my set up...
    Running a Flash CD Rom in IE, user clicks a Start.html file
    to fire up the presentation in their default web browser.
    I have a root file loading a bunch of movies on various
    levels. The video player loads on level 4 above a bunch of other
    buttons on level 3.
    I disable the buttons underneath by including a big Invisible
    button on the bottom layer of the video .swf and inserting a script
    to disable the hand cursor. (So that users can't click buttons that
    reside underneath where my video is playing.)
    That all works great, the only thing is that the controls in
    the skin I'm using become disabled. I'm using a premade skin in
    Flash 8, the kind that pop the controls up automatically when you
    roll over the video, and go away when you don't.
    Everything works great when I Ctrl+Enter and test the file,
    but when I run the whole thing together in IE, the video controls
    never pop up.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • Flash Video Player, PHP, and XML

    I'm the visual designer for a web site "Global Oneness
    Project" (
    http://www.globalonenessproject.org/videos.php
    ) that's currently "streaming" progressive download quicktime
    movies. The individual video pages (where you view a video) is
    currently a php template that calls a MP4 from an XML file. Our
    goal is to switch the embedded quicktime videos to embedded Flash
    videos that play progressive download movies.
    Ideally I would like to create a single Flash Video player
    (SWF) thats embedded in a single php template (video.php), but will
    play different videos depending on what state of the php is being
    called. Basically, I want the site to work exactly like it does now
    but with Flash instead of Quicktime.
    I'm assuming that this will be created with some combination
    of an external "AS" file, the XML data and the PHP logic but can't
    even begin to get my mind around what needs to be done.
    I found a few examples of how to play multiple videos in a
    single player, but all of the examples use a playlist that's
    embedded in the SWF. The video player will only be used for player
    control and the user will choose the movie by selecting the correct
    PHP page within the HTML.
    I'll be thankful for any direction you all can give or even a
    Flash developer who would be able to take this project on.
    Thanks,
    Shawn

    yes, it's possible.  and there are some similarities with an xml image gallery.  the main difference would be using something like an flvplayback component to display the videos as opposed to using a target movieclip to display the large image in an image gallery.

    The iPlayer webpage is all there but the flash video player is black. The OS is MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3.

    Also, when the flash video does not show up it displays the error that I do not have the current flash player. The problem is that I do have the current flash player that actually plays flash from another section of the website.
    Forgot to add that earlier.

  • Controlling the Dreamweaver Flash Video Player

    Hi all,
    I'm using the Flash video player that comes with Dreamweaver
    CS3 (FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf) to play a video on one of my web
    pages, and it works fine. However, I'd also like to be able to
    control playback using some HTML buttons below the video. I've been
    Googling for ages now looking for documentation on how to use
    JavaScript to control the player, but I can't find anything. Does
    anyone know where I could find it?
    Thanks,
    Russ

    Html doesn't control flash players. The skins, controls,
    buttons, etc are
    referenced by the SWF file. You would have better control
    over your video
    player if you compiled the FLV/SWF in a Flash program instead
    of DW.
