Using Multiple FLV files on one page with one Flash Player

Jul 17, 2012 9:16 AM

Tags: #flash #flv

I have a web site with 6 videos.  I am hoping to find help figuring out how best to develop the web page that will allow me to associate several FLV files with one Flash Player.  And to have each of the videos "launch" when triggered by a link containing the title.

I have the video titles as links that will launch the associated FLV file when clicked.  It is a selection menu with the Flash player on the same page.

    I don't know which player you're using, but this is usually done with XML or Javascript files (playlists) because you can't directly link to FLVs and have them play in browsers.

     

    That said, Flash is dead as a web technology now because it isn't supported by all the latest and most popular web devices (iPhone, iTouch, iPads).  If you want to reach the widest possible audience with your videos, I would suggest using MP4 videos with an HTML5 player that supports playlists.

    Thanks.  I had been using Javascript with wmv files.  But have not been able to control the size of the Player.  It's either postage stamp tiny or full screen.  This code was developed by someone else - no longer around - so I'm trying to "make do."
