Hi,
open file videos.xml and change the videos url with yours. Upload it to server.
open file LoadingXML.as and at this line:
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest('http://www.flepstudio.org/utilita/MultiFLVPlayer/videos.xml');
change the url that hits to your videos.xml file.
Open main.fla and re-create the SWF.
Upload main.swf to your server.

If you don't work with a web server, if you want try it locally, use relative paths instead of absolute url's.

I would do those things if I actually had Flash CS3, which I don't but apparently have to. I will download the trial version as soon as it becomes available again (July 1) and give it a try then. Thanks for the help!

I've had the same problem.
Here is my solution.
1) Open main.fla
2) Click on the black square with the FLV icon.
3) Click on parameters
4) Change the URL ( skin ) to your own skin. ( scroll down a bit to find it )

That did the trick for me

Hi there. Thanks for the great example. I was wondering though - how could I edit this so that the playlist supported multiple playlists that the user can select by clicking a button?

Hi Flep,
Thanks for the great tutorial. It is along the lines of a project I am currently working on and having problems with. I have an FLV player similar to yours with thumbs, driven off an XML list (only I am using the List component). What I am trying to figure out is the best way to have multiple playlists - or categories. So that when a user clicks a button the playlist changes. In the future, I'm going to also have to incorporate using Flash Vars somehow I think (which I am new to as well) as I have to be able to use an HTML link to specific videos in a playlist. Can you tell me what is the best way to accomplish this? I'm new to Actionscript 3. Thanks for any help.

Hi Flep

maybe you can help me out.

can you come up with an AS and XML code with a playlist that has multiple catagories and has jpegs and flv. for example can have 3 catagories like Vacation Pictures (playlist of jpegs) Wedding Pictures (playlist of jpegs) Honymoon Video (playlist of flv)??

BTW i love this site i have learned so much from here KEEP IT UP

This looks great, however I am unable to launch it locally as I get the error Flash player stopped a potenntially unsafe application, the following local application on your computer network c:\blah blah blah is trying to communicate wth the internet enabled location www.flepstudio.com.

I changed loadingxml.as URLRequest to C:\blah blah whatever local location.

Any ideas, I want to launch it locally to make changes, I need to make the flv viewing window bigger as its a little too small. Any help in these issues would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks again

Everything works fine but I can't change the position of the player. It's stuck at the bottom of the page and I can't see the thumbnails. How can I move or center it on the page????Help

What is the best way to embed this into a MC of a different swf. I tried to embed the main.swf using AS3 similar to below but I received this error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Main/init()
at Main()

var FLVLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(FLVLoader);
var FLVURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MultiFLVPlayer/main.swf");
FLVLoader.load(FLVURL);
FLVLoader.x  = 0;
FLVLoader.y = 0;
