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

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

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.

flv.contentPath = flvurl; works in Flash9? I cannot find the way to make it work to take advantage of the full screen option template
