XML driven FLV player with playlist, can someone please help me?

OK so ive been working for a client recently building him a new site for his racing team and he wants a video jukebox on the "videos section" of the site.
Now i am the one with the job of updating this jukebox with new videos which he makes (this happens often) so i want updating to be as easy as possible.
Im new to the use of XML with flash and followed a tutorial to create a dynamic Image Gallery which is really easy to update, all i have to do is drop the files into the right directories in my FTP client and edit the XML file, perfect.
I want the jukebox to do the same thing.
I want to have a jukebox with a "video screen" with basic controlls (play/pause, volume, rewind, seek) on the left and a small vertically scrolling menu on the right that contains thumbnails and descriptions of the videos that when clicked changes the content of the video component to play the chosen video.
I found a tutorial on the adobe site that shows how to achive this through the use of the "video component" and the "list component" in flash 8 HOWEVER, this isnt very pretty and almost impossible to customise due to the list component and i would like to be able to mimic the style of the image gallery i already produced to keep things all nice and uniform.
i want to use XML to point flash to the source of the FLV files, the source of the thumbnail jpgs and give the text for the description so that its easy to update and use flash's drawing interface to make it pretty.
Basically i want to reproduce something like this.
Ive been searching for weeks now and i cant find anything to help me with this, if anyone knows of any tutorials, books, videos or has any idea how to help me it would be MUCH appreciated.
Thankyou.

I think my thumbnail function is not reaching the correct node in my XML.Can someone take a look at my Actionscript Please? The Action Script is below. The XML is at the bottom of this post. The top half of the code is the video playing code the bottom is for the thumbs.

XML Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<videos>
<video url="vid1.flv" desc="Video 1" thumb="1.jpg"/>
<video url="vid2.flv" desc="Video 2" thumb="2.jpg"/>
</videos>

I'm trying to load the thumbnails in with this code
image_mcl.loadClip(image[k], "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
i tried
videoList.getItemAt(k).image
which works in the trace method but gives no response in the actual code it self
So the line of code that should work is
image_mcl.loadClip(videoList.getItemAt(k).image, "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
and not
image_mcl.loadClip(image[k], "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
but I gets no response

XML driven flv player

Hi,
I need to create an XML driven flv player, now I know how to
construct the player, but not sure of the code for the XML to hold
just one flv file, not a list of them just the one.
I need my flv player to play just one flv file; as soon as
its run on the web, it needs to play only one flv video. No need to
pick it from any list etc... This way the client can simply edit
the XML file to play a different flv video.
Kind Regards,
Boxing Boom

Boxing Boom,
You are correct about error
AS3
Error #1093 being because of the quotes. The unfortunate thing
is that this error doesn't give any further info. I have created a
blog post specifically about error
ActionScript
Error #1093 There are a few other reasons that a Flasher will
get this error. Hope this is helpful.

My iPhone 4 will not sync my new voice memos from the "Voice Memos" app to my computer. This is frustrating, should not be so hard, can someone please help. I use PC with windows 7 with iPhone version 6.1.3 and iTunes most recent. Thanks.

In the Music tab of iTunes, do you have 'Include Voice Memos' checked?

My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV. Can someone please help me with a solution? Thanks.

First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes. I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook.
Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from. But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad). It does not show up on my Apple TV as well. If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me. I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad. I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this? Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

My Iphone 5 has gone blank, I can not see anything. Restore with itunes has not worked either. Can someone please help?

Hi I recently upgraed to iOS 6.1 on my Iphone 5. After the upgrade, it was all good. Over the weekend I went Austria for Ski. While taking the photos, I simply locked the phone and kept it my pocket as I had to go. After sometime when I opened my phone, I could hardly see anything. I tried to unlock with pin and tried restarting with great difficulty. But nothing worked. Coming back home today, I have tried restore the software and still no luck. I have tried restore almost 5 to 6 times, but the screen is still blank. I dont know if what state it is in and I can not do anything to fix it. I am very annoyed with the support service as they can not be reached on Sunday evening.
I could manage to book a call tomorrow but I have lot of work over next few days at work. Can someone please help how to fix this issue now? Any suggestions will be much apperciated.
Thanks,
Srini

Can someone please help me figure out why I keep getting the "can not reach server" when I try to download the ebook? This is happening with Adobe Digital Editions.

When I try to download the ebook I bough, the Adobe Digital Reader shows the following message: "can not reach server". Can someone please help me with this?
TO be precise, it says "licensee server communication problem"
Thank you

The thread running through your explanation has to do with connectivity to your server. (iCloud out of the blue asking for password, unable to message your boyfriend, unable to access e-mail). You said that you boyfriend restart his device and then the two of you were able to then imessage. My best advice for you would be to go to settings to reset to reset network settings. Once this has been done you then will need to enter the name and password of your wifi. ONce this is done you then can attempt to check to see that all passwords are enter correctly.
Good luck.

Hi there. Can someone please help me with copying photos from my old iPad to my new one? Thanks.

Hi there. Can someone please help me with copying photos from my old iPad to my new ipad2? Thanks.

If you have a pc, when you plug your iPad in you should see the windows pop up window offering to backup the photos. Do that and it will save all your photos and videos to your computer where you can then sync them back to your new one.
If the pop up doesn't come up, double click on my computer and navigate your way to the iPad. Double cick on it an d navigate to the DCIM folder. Drag your photos and videos to your pc, then sync them back onto your iPad.

Yes, you have WD software installed REMOVE IT !!
WD has warned its customers about their huge mistake that their software doesnt work on Mavericks and causes data loss.
(also dont use WD drives anymore)

I've tried to download the flash player several different times and each time i get a connection error message.It downloads fine and when i run the file to start install, it installs up to 5% and then i get the connection error message. I've tried disabling my antivirus software, closing my browser for install and nothing.Can someone please help me? I'm using Firefox.

Hi!
I had the exact same issue, being on a mac. If you are on a mac and the connection error message occurs, then use this link http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
It allows you to download it offline, which is what I used.
Hope I was help!

RE: "P.S. I found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain text?"
I take it you tried using the "right click" menu? That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key and while holding it down, press the "V" letter key.
CTRL + C = COPY
CTRL + X = CUT
CTRL + V = PASTE

Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied.
Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time. My problem is now solved.
The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.
