Download Source File

Step 01: Create a new flash document and save it as "flvplayer.fla"

Step 02: Click Window and select Components (or) press Ctrl + F7 to open the Components panel.

Step 03: In the Components panel, locate FLV Playback. Click and drag it to the board.

Step 04: Resize the FLV Playback component to your desired dimension.

Step 05: Left click the FLV Playback component, open properties panel (Ctrl + F3).
Give "flv" as the instance name to the component.

Step 06: Now click the frame at the top and open the action script panel, press F9 to open it.

Ste 07: Copy and Paste this action script code in that frame:



flv.contentPath = flvurl;



Step 08: Your FLV player is ready, Now we need to make use of FlashVars to pass the flv file URL. FlashVars are used in the PARAM tag in the embed code.

Step 09: Create a HTML page in the same location of the flvplayer.fla and save the HTML page as flvplayer.html

Copy and paste this code in that HTML page:



< embed src="flvplayer.swf" flashvars="flvurl=movie.flv" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="290" width="300">< /embed>



Step 10: In the above code, change the value of the flvurl variable to the the location where your FLV file is located.

I think you should make changes in the FLV player itself. I will do some search on this issue, and post a good tutorial soon on your question.

Very nice! I used 3days to search for this solution!

Thanks mate!

This tutorial is really nice, simple and effective. I like it.
Another software that I like is on playerdiy.com - http://www.playerdiy.com/
It is a very easy to use web FLV player creator. No code knowledge is required. Here is the tutorial - http://www.playerdiy.com/support/tutorial/customize-flash-video-player.html

hello, I know this is a noobie question, but what program did you use to make this?

Is it Adobe Flash Professional CS5?

I'm using a windows 7 OS.

Never mind the post above, I figured that out, but now I have a different problem. I don't know how to use the param tags. My html displays a blank screen. Can you please write the full code?

This is my full code...

<html
<head
<title </titl
</head

<body

<param name="movie" value="flvplayer.swf" /
<param name="flashvars" value='ncm.flv' /
<embed src="flvplayer.swf" flashvars="flvurl=ncm.flv" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="290" width="300" </embed

</body
</htm
