Question

FLV Playback skin or controls on the iPad using FLV component

I've got the FLV Playback component working on my iPad and it looks great. I'm playing an FLV published out with AIR for iOS 2.7 (CPU) from Flash CS5.5.

The video looks great and runs without any lag.

The problem I face is when I include a skin, such as one included with Flash, then the video doesn't play on my iPad. For example:

flvPlayback.skin = "SkinUnderPlaySeekMute.swf";

My guess is because it's a SWF file that it won't play? But I'm not sure.

Does anyone know how I can get controls for my FLV Playback on the iPad using FLV component?

Thanks

Hi,

You are correct. This is happening because skin is a swf file. I am aware of any good solution to this problem.

markc888 had a great solution he posted in another thread. He said:

You can use the FLV UI button components and assign them to your FLVPlayback instance like this. In essence you are creating your own skin.

(assuming your instance of FLVPlayback is named flvPlayback and the buttons have instance names like those below)

flvPlayback.playPauseButton = playPauseBtn_mc;

flvPlayback.seekBar = seekBar_mc;

flvPlayback.backButton = backBtn_mc;

This solution works a treat, but my only problem with it is that I can't get the fullScreen button for the video to make the video fill my stage.

I've reverted back to the StageWebView and have come up with a solution that I'm happy with.

That doesnt work for me. The buttons are unresponsive like they are not connected to the video.

Can someone post a working FLA?
