Customizing a player

I've read the posts on customizing the player and still do
not understand.. : (
I have captivate 1.0.
What I am trying to do is create another version of the
`steel' player without the i information button and without the
exit button. While I realize I could graphically modify each
button, I suspect that it would remain clickable and thus cause us
problems.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all
jbradley88 is spot on. All you need to do is rename the bmp
files so that Captivate doesn't know about them. Once you do this,
they won't be included. But here's something to consider. These are
normally constructed so that all of them together provide a
seamless and "finished" look. If a couple of them cannot be found
they won't be included. And this may affect the overall appearance
of your playback control. So you may also need to factor in
adjusting the last image so it looks more appropriate.
Cheers... Rick

  • Adding subtitle functionality to my custom flv player

    Hey all,
    I have a custom flv player and i'm slowly adding more functionality to it as I go along but i've hit a wall.
    I want to add a subtitle button that toggles between show/hide. I've seen on the internet that the best way is to use an XML file (holding the script, times etc.), which I have no problem writing.
    I'm having problems trying to replicate the 'FLVPlaybackCaptioning' component (in Flash CS3) in to my custom flv player. I.E. Adding the right actionscript to my toggle button.
    Can anybody help me as I just can't find anything on the internet.
    Any advice is welcome!
    Thanks

    Well the problem is that I can't find any tutorials or help about getting a subtitle toggle button into my custom flv player, an example of which can be found here: http://idl.newport.ac.uk/dev/customplayer.html
    I don't like using the FLVPlayback component built into flash as it is too clunky but at the moment that is the only way I can get subtitles to toggle on and off (using the FLVPlaybackCaption component).
    Ideally I would like to use an XML file to do the subtitles. Any ideas?

  • Custom audio player in Edge?

    Hi.
    I'd like to create a custom audio player in Edge. I need the code for the following elements:
    play/pause - play/pause toggle button (mouseover hides the play and reveals the pause and vice-versa)
    timeline - timeline track
    loading/buffering bar - loading/buffering progress bar
    handle - playhead: indicates current position in the audio file and  acts as a drag handle to move to a different point of the audio
    timeleft - remaining play time (in minutes and seconds)
    The buttons are symbols, because they all have mouseover/mouseout animations beside the click.
    Here´s a schematic of what I want:
    Help?

    I found this tutorial by Neutron Creations (all credits to them) that seems to meet the requirements for my custom audio player.
    The problem is that, not being a Javascript/jQuery savy, I'm having quite a bit of difficulty in adapting the code to Edge's context.
    Could you please lend a help?

  • Custom FLV player query

    Dear all
    I have created a custom FLV player and i would like to embed
    it into our web site. The problem I have is I want it to be
    dynamic. So I can link lots of videos to it rather than export just
    one movie with the player from flash and embed that each time into
    the website. I want the player as a permanent entity and then link
    to it via a database with a list of FLV videos. I know about
    Flashvars and creating those variables in the javascript file but I
    want to know do I need to or can I type a query into the source
    field in the parameters of the .fla file to link to a database full
    of the videos. Rather than place in that source field the name of
    one .flv movie. Thats where I am stuck. I am pretty new to flash. I
    am using progressive download by the way.
    Our website is coded with classic ASP/CSS and we use access
    for databases.
    Many thanks
    Rob

    Thanks so much for your help, I am probably going to sound
    thick but how would I get flash to read the xml, I guess I would do
    it with actionscript but do you have any pointers or tutorials you
    know of where it involves asp and a database etc.
    Cheers

  • Best approach to dynamic custom flv player

    I am currently working on a custom flash player. After
    working on several working versions where I simply used
    actionscript to delegate the actions of my custom player.
    I am now working on a more dynamic ready flashplayer that
    will need to be embeddable. Should I make a .swf specificaly for
    the player using the flash player SkinFLA examples as an outline?
    The idea is to have a player that embeds like youtube, any
    suggestions or tutorials to look over? Also, this player needs to
    have playlist functionality, but it needs to be able to scope to
    anyone. I could have users register and then create an XML that
    references their playlist, but it seems like there may be better
    options. Just looking for some discussion and debate over player
    best-practices....

  • Custom audio player

    I'd like to create an audio player like the CSMonitor uses
    for its daily podcast at csmonitor.com
    I'm able to create one using a simple rewind, stop, start,
    and jump to end button using actionscript, but how do I get start
    button to change to pause button when pushed and vice versa,
    progress bar with blue ball, and counter that shows time played out
    of total time length of audio file?
    Do I make a separate image for the blue ball and the progress
    bar? then how do I script the ball to move and the time indicators.
    Actionscript I'm currently familiar with using:
    gotoAndStop(1)
    rewindBtn.onPress = function () {
    gotoAndStop(1);
    stopBtn.onPress = function () {
    stop();
    playBtn.onPress = function () {
    play();
    endBtn.onPress = function () {
    gotoAndStop(2560);
    pauseBtn.onRelease = function () {
    (toggle = (toggle) ? false : true) ? stop() : play();
    };

  • Using a custom video player (skin) for Event Videos?

    Hi
    I'd like use something other than the 9 standard video skins that come with Captivate 6 (Halo, Clear and Corona). Is it possible to use a custom video player or at least a different skin for an Event video?  And, if so, does anyone know where I could find a collection of custom skins (free or otherwise)?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Well sure enough, that WPF MediaKit indeed uses D3DImage for the WPF interop. In fact he does things very similar to me except mostly he seems to use DirectShow whereas I'm 100% Media Foundation. Maybe should rethink that... If only DirectShow had H264
    support in Windows 8. Stupid licensing issues. Anyway thanks again for that link.

  • Cannot rewind Cpativate to slide 0 in custom Flash player

    In a custom Flash player for Captivate and other swf content,
    the captivates I load start on slide 1, not 0.
    Neither or these work:
    rdcmndPrevious = 1
    rdcmndRewindAndPlay = 1
    to take them back to slide 0 - they both take it to slide 1.
    The only solution I found is inserting a blank slide in the
    Captivate source before publishing the swf. Then, the content
    behaves fine in my custom player.
    Anyone know why this might be?

    Hi,
    Perhaps this FAQ will help?
    How do I manually install Flash Player on my Android device?

  • Create a custom Flash Player tutorials?

    Greetings,
    Does anyone know of some easy to use tutorials I can use for
    creating a custom Flash Player.
    What I am after is a simplified player that I can embed in
    projects initially created using Macromedia/Adobe Captivate. The
    Player needs to be simple and can be built into the swf/fla project
    (if possible, another version that would stand outside the project
    and play a swf embedded on an html page).
    This may fall under the heading od "skinning", but what I
    want needs to be versitile and customizable.
    Thank you,
    TPK

    I don't really know how to do this but I've seen some things that make me think it isn't that hard to do at all.
    You should be able to install "cue points" when you encode the video in the Media Encoder.
    I'm sure there's a very simple way to make links which would target those cue points.
    5k is absurd.

  • Creating a custom Flash Player

    I am totally new to Flash Builder and currently downloading the trial version. While I am waiting, is this the correct product for me?
    I have a VP6 Alpha Channel .flv movie (transparent background). I would like to create a custom flash player for my website to display and control this movie.The player needs the following properties:
    1. Play the movie transparently (using "wmode"?)
    2. Play, pause, volume and exit buttons on the control bar
    3. Autohide control bar
    4. Logo / text on the control bar
    5. Ability to unload itself after the movie ends
    Is this the right product for me? If so, any links on how to create this player would be useful. If not, which product do I need?
    Many thanks for your help.

  • I want to build a custom flash player for my desktop

    I want to build a custom flash player for my desktop, using C# and Visual Studio 2008. Where do I start? I just want a real simple one to play swf files. Play, stop, loop, full screen, normal size. I'll start there. Where do I go? I've searched the web for an answer, and found several example projects that don't compile, or are incomplete. It's very frustrating. This shouldn't be that difficult.

    I think you started the right way - looking for example programs.
    If they won't compile, then they probably contain errors.  Fix the errors until they compile.  Then develop your own extensions.
    This is one way of developing applications, the other way is starting from scratch.

  • Customizing Captivate Player with buttons

    Hi there,
    I've been trying to figure out how to get the captivate
    outputs to "stretch" to fill a browser window. After much
    investigation and contemplating using Flash instead... I've found
    Jesse Warden's Captivate Player, which is excellent! Finally, I can
    play my Captivate outputs stretched for different screen
    resolutions! yay
    But.... the problem I have is that I lose the custom skin I
    have created in Captivate when the SWFs created in Captivate open
    in Jesse's Captivate Player (v 1.2).
    This wouldn't be such a big deal, but I lose the playbar
    tools (ie, play / pause / etc).
    How can I add buttons like "play", "pause", etc to the
    Captivate Player? Or get the skin to come through?
    Does anyone have a mod or template that they wouldn't mind
    sharing?
    Maybe I am missing something?
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,

  • Custom Video Player from Adobe Photoshop to Catalyst

    I create a video player in Photoshop (a .psd file, obviusly) and I want to make it work in Flash Catalyst without using the standart skin o' video player from there. It's possible?
    if so, how would the procedure? Something very complicated?
    Thank you.
    @eldermarx

    Hi there,
    You can't skin the video player the way you can skin wireframe components like a button or data list. However, you can create a custom component that contains your video, and several buttons that control playback using Catalyst interactions.
    You would place your video in the artboard, set its controls to "No Chrome", and then add your play, pause, and stop buttons. You'd need to wire up interactions to these buttons to play, pause, and stop the video.

  • Custom flash player (not flv) working with custom flash content

    I am working on a custom player of swf content. Some of the
    content the player loads and plays is custom Flash content (swf
    files) such as games.
    Depending on how the external content is built, sometimes the
    pause button for the player will not pause everything in the loaded
    content swf.
    Does anyone know of a standard approach to such a problem?
