Adding a progressbar component
by Tim Jordan on Nov 10, 2009
This was a great tutorial. I manage to take it a step further and build a custom playing. But I am having problems applying a progressBar component. I would like for the viewer to see a count to when the video will be done loading. The videos I’m using are big around 6min long. Do you have a video or any thoughts on how on how to solve this?
another question opposed to making first video appear, how to make control bar not show until button is clicked? similar to this player?

make first video open on page load?
by Vicky Hunter on Oct 22, 2009
First I want to THANK YOU!!! I have tried for months without success to do ANYTHING in flash! I'm still twiddling trying to make backgrounds and align etc. But this tutorial was so easy for me to follow; even tho it was a bit different using cs4, most leave out tiny details assuming everyone will know what to do.
My only concern is when the page opens, you don't see a player, just the control bar. What am I doing wrong? I made a background telling folks to click a numbered box to start, but not really liking that. Is there anything I can do?
Frineds who want an easy way to do this

It is a good tutorial. However, some friends here might want easier way to do this to save both their time and money.
An easy way is without Javascript or Actionscript, check playerdiy.com, it is a web FLV player creator and no code knowledge is needed. Here is the tutorial - http://www.playerdiy.com/support/tutorial/customize-flash-video-player.html
This lesson looks nice, but it is not for practical use. Week points are:
The first video starts always playing.
You can't click to play the same videos again.
This script does not work for one button for to start the video playing via this button.
Where to find usable scripts not just for nice lessons?
