Question

Linking IN to an XML Video playlist

Hi All,

I have created a flash video player using a customised flvplayback component and an XML playlist. The playlist in flash consists of a tumbnail with a name, which is within a scrolling MC, and 2 text areas under the video player itself...one for the title and the other for a description. All text and images are loaded from the XML.

The default player starts with an auto play video and then the user can select a video from the playlist on the right.

I'm trying to make it so I can create a URL link on another page within our website (home page)...i.e "see this video of us doing this". I want the URL link to take the user to the video player page, but load in a specific flv and text from the XML instead of the default.

Is this possible?

I have looked into flashvars but im not sure how to implement this with an XML player, and preferably not having to create a duplicate html page. ( I would like the URL link to tell the flash player which video to load)

Would greatly appreciate any help on this

Cheers

Dan
