XML Driven Flash Player Update – dev.3

video player

Built using: Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3
Based on: ‘Flash video template: Dynamic video playlist

Video Player Demo Page

Version dev.3
This version brings the Flash Player even closer to complete. The sharing options in the right pane are now all functional as originally planned. The email button pops up a form that asks the user for their name, email address, and a friend’s email address and emails the current video that the user is watching to their friend’s email address. The link button pops up a form that displays the current video’s URL along with a copy button that copies the URL onto the user’s clipboard for them to paste elsewhere.

Small bug fix:
Links no longer return null link values.

I am going to do some more testing on the flash player itself to make sure there that no more bugs exist on the player and then working towards creating a control panel for the flash player to make maintenance easy. It will include the ability to upload videos and tag them with content tags. Those content tags will be used to generate related video reels for all of your videos. The control panel will also eliminate the need to update any XML by hand, streamlining the process of adding videos to the player. If you find any bugs in the flash player leave the bug below in the comments section.
