For each instance of the FLVPlayback
component, you can set the following parameters in the Component
inspector or the Property inspector:
align
,
autoPlay
,
cuePoints
,
preview
,
scaleMode
,
skin
,
skinAutoHide
,
skinBackgroundAlpha
,
skinBackgroundColor
,
source
,
and
volume
. Each of these parameters has a corresponding
ActionScript property of the same name. When you assign a value
to these parameters you are setting the initial state of the property
in the application. Setting the property in ActionScript overrides
the value you set in the parameter. For information on the possible values
for these parameters, see the FLVPlayback class in the
ActionScript 3.0 Reference for the Adobe
Flash Platform
.
Specify the FLVPlayback source parameter
The
source
parameter
lets you specify the name and location of the video file, both of
which inform Flash how to play the file.
Open the Content Path dialog box by double-clicking the Value
cell for the
source
parameter in the Component
inspector.
FLVPlayback Content Path dialog box
The Content Path dialog box provides a check box, Match Source
FLV Dimensions, that specifies whether the FLVPlayback instance
on the Stage should match the dimensions of the source video file.
The source video file contains preferred height and width dimensions
for playing. If you select this option, the dimensions of the FLVPlayback
instance are resized to match these preferred dimensions.
The source
Enter the URL or local path for either the video
file or an XML file that describes how to play the video file. If
you do not know the exact location of a video file, click the folder
icon to open a Browser dialog box to help you find the correct location.
When browsing for a video file, if it is at or below the location
of the target SWF file, Flash automatically makes the path relative
to that location so you can serve it from a web server. Otherwise,
the path is an absolute Windows or Macintosh path. To enter the
name of a local XML file, type the path and name.
If you specify
an HTTP URL, the video file plays as a progressive download. If
you specify a URL that is an RTMP URL, the video file streams from
Flash Media Server or FVSS. A URL to an XML file could also be a
streaming video file from Flash Media Server or FVSS.
Important:
You can also specify the location of
a SMIL file that describes how to play multiple video file streams
for multiple bandwidths. The file uses the Synchronized Multimedia
Integration Language (SMIL) to describe the FLV files. For a description
of the SMIL file, see
Use a SMIL file
.
You can also specify the name and location
of the video file using the ActionScript
FLVPlayback
.
source
property
and the
FLVPlayback.play()
and
FLVPlayback.load()
methods.
These three alternatives take precedence over the
source
parameter
in the Component inspector. For more information, see the
FLVPlayback.source
,
FLVPlayback.play()
,
and
FLVPlayback.load()
entries for the FLVPlayback
class in the
ActionScript 3.0 Reference for the Adobe
Flash Platform
.
