Freebie: Dynamic Flash Video Player
Download includes versions for 4×3 and 16×9 aspect ratios.
This content requires Adobe Flash Player 8
I’ve created a video player that you can use for free that is easily customizable. The cool thing is you don’t need to open Flash to change the video you want it to display. Just write is as a variable in your embed code like this:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("/examples/videoplayer/video_4x3.swf", "mymovie", "500", "405", "8", "#000000"); so.addParam("menu", "false"); so.addParam("scale", "noscale"); so.addParam("allowFullScreen", "true"); so.addVariable("myVideo", "vid1.flv"); so.write("flash"); </script>
Note so.addVariable(“myVideo”, “vid1.flv”); All you need to do is change vid1.flv to the video of your choice.
Enjoy!
What about preview image?

Hi,
Very Lightweight and nice player.
I am trying to open the fla in Flash 8, but it says “unexpected file format”.
Would you point me out, thanks so much!

In regard to the “Dynamic Flash Video Player”…
When you say “Just write is as a variable in your embed code like this:”…
It looks like Action Script. What is my embed code and where in the code does one insert this copy of code you provided?
Appreciate the help.
Thanks
