Hello,
Since I can't afford expensive Adobe and other software to create players, I'm using what is considered one the best free ones, JW (Jeroen Wijering --http://www.jeroenwijering.com/) FLV Player.
Contrary to its name, it plays both SWF and FLV, and is a versatile for other uses.
Right now, I'm only playing with a single player and single SWF file.
The JW player page embed is great because the code is so simple -- no complicated <object> type stuff. All one needs the small mediaplayer.swf, and the Flash file. (I'll give you an example at the end on how small and easy it is.)
I'm still on a learning curve with all of this, and got things down to what I like, except for a couple things. I've left messages at their forum, but seems like newbies are kind of ignored.
Whatever the case, here are the two issues I'm running up against:
A) Player controlbar colors - all figured out except border:
I've seen no flashvars to change the outer edge of the player. The actual player module (mediaplayer.swf) may be a place to tweak this or not -- but one can't open it except with some specialized code editor, which I don't have.
XHTML is used as an adjust file to tweak other things, but I haven't ventured into this yet, for I'm satisfied with the simplicity of the JW, except for not being able to change said border.
No matter how one changes the other aspects of the controlbar, that one thing stays at default white or light gray.
B) Larger controlbar height for the more visually impaired.
Same problem as with the above: Can't find a flashvar or how/where to tweak up the height (created an XHTML file and/or ?)
You can see what I mean by the thin 1 pixel border and standard small-height of the controlbar by visiting my page with this player.
Below is said example of the code of that player and how simple the code is. I've only changed the location of the player file and Flash file to a generic one.
Add the "mediaplayer.swf" and presto, done.
Got experience, wisdom, solutions for the above Qs?
Thanks.
