Starting/Initiating/params-flvplayer.swf

[shack]

Is there a good tutorial on all params available on the object for aplication/x-shockwave-flash? This may make the next few questions easier.

Setting a flag to AutoStart seems to be ineffective. Any ideas?

Is it impossible to start the object(player) on the first click of the play button?

Is it possible to use skins to make the player look unique?

How do you change the initial screen background to a logo on the player?

What might be a good editor to append and cut out parts of the video, anyone could recommend?

A live example is http://www.a1bar.info/video/

Thanks...

Thats how I would set the code up to autostart. The rest of the variables should be supplied in the readme text in the player download.

With that version of the player you have you should be able to change the colors so there is really no need to skin it. However I believe he also includes the source files in the downloads if you want to tinker with it.

Search for Virtualdub for a free video editor.

Here's a whacked out version of your player just by using the variables that are supplied in the readme file.
