FLV Slide Show Videos

[Flep]

FlepStudio presents a new free utility for Flash CS3 and Actionscript 3.0 .

It's a SlideShow of FLV videos.

Like an images Slide Show gallery but with FLV videos instead of pictures.

XML based, very easy to manage.

 

Actionscript variables:

private const SPEED:int=3; ( speed )

private const BUFFERING_TIME:Number=3; ( buffering's time)

private const XML_URL:String="videos.xml" ( path or assolut url of videos.xml file)

Installation:

1. Open main.fla and org/FlepStudio/Main.as and change the XML_URL variable with abosulte url that points at videos.xml file at line 26.

Also, you can change the speed of the slide and the buffering time ( lines 25 and 24 ).

private const SPEED:int=3;

private const BUFFERING_TIME:Number=3;

private const XML_URL:String="videos.xml";

2. Create the thumbs for each one of your videos and put them into thumbs folder.

3. Create the FLV videos corresponding with the thumbs and put them into videos folder.

4. Open videos.xml file and change the info of each node ( one node = one video informations ).

I see the code...

private const XML_URL:String="videos.xml"; //path or absolute url

But what do it mean, I want it to gather data from my folder, not your website. So I guess I want a path...

And each time I open the swf it says that it wants to communicate with flepstudio.org, why?

Thanks in advance
