Greetings,

I do not know if this is the right place to post my finding. After searching high and low, day and night for a robust flash player to use on my site, i ran across this incredibly easy to customize flash player.
I have played around with all the other flash player options that are available at the repository, but none did what I have been attempting to do. Which was simply to play flash videos and mp3s on the site.

In any case, I found this by chance this afternoon. I could set everything up in 5-10 minutes, calling up the player on the pages on my site via tv and chunks.
It also comes with some powerful but easy to use plugins which can allow audio synching to still images et cetera.

Here is a link to the site: http://flowplayer.org/index.html

Hopefully the geeks here can wrap this up as a snippet for newbies like myself..:)

The basic version is free by the way. I am not in any way affiliated to the site or its authors.

Thanks.

Flowplayer rocks! definitely my favorite flash player.

I just finished writing a snippet for our company website, it just needs a couple tweaks and it’ll be ready for release.

I have a snippet/chunk that I use quite successfully...

The snippet

<?php
$movie = $modx->getTemplateVar('PageVideos');
if (!empty($movie['value'])) {
    if(is_file('assets/flash/videos/pages/' . $movie['value'] . '.flv')) {
         $chunk = $modx->getChunk('rightflash');
         return $chunk;
    }
}
$output = '<img id="noVideo" src="assets/js/images/flash_bkg.png" width="250" height="261" alt="" />';
return $output;
?>

The chunk

<div id="rightFlash">
<!-- this A tag is where your Flowplayer will be placed. it can be anywhere -->
<a  href="assets/flash/videos/pages/[*PageVideos*].flv"  id="player"> </a> 
<!-- this will install flowplayer inside previous A- tag. -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/rightmovie.js"></script>
</div>

The javascript:

flowplayer("player", "assets/flash/flowplayer.commercial-3.1.5.swf", {
    key: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    logo: {
		url: '../js/images/flash_bkg.png',
		fullscreenOnly: false,
		zIndex:0,
		top: '45%',
		left: '50%'
	},
    splash: {
        backgroundColor: '#ffffff'
    },
    canvas: {
        backgroundColor: '#ffffff'
    },
        screen: {
        backgroundColor: '#ffffff'
    },
    
    clip: {

		autoPlay: true, autoBuffering: true,

		// let screen fade in gradually so Acme logo can be seen below it
		fadeInSpeed: 3000,

		// on last second, fade out screen
		onLastSecond: function() {
			this.getScreen().animate({opacity: 0}, 3000);
		},

		// if screen is hidden, show it upon startup
		onStart: function() {
			this.getScreen().css({opacity: 1});
		}

	},

    plugins:  { 
            controls: {
                    autoHide: 'true',
                    hideDelay: 1000,
            }
    }
});
