Hello,

I am trying to embed a flash player as a pop-up from a web page.

So far, we manage only to pop a new browser page which plays the "Flash" video, without a controlable player.

what do i need to do to embed a player into the page, like here: http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
or as a player as a pop-up above the page?

do i need a flash media server for that or can it work with progressive download and no dedicated installations?

I would appreciate any help. I need to figure it out ASAP.

    Hi

    You can use the new open source media framework, which lets you prepare a feature-rich media player easily.

    Please find all the information at http://www.osmf.org/developers.html

    You could also use the ActionScript 3 FLVPlayback component to build yourself a media player.

    Relevant information can be found at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/flvplayback_component/

    Once you have the SWF movie ready which contains the media player that you have prepared, you could refer to http://animation.about.com/od/flashanimationtutorials/qt/embedswfwebpage.htm to know how to go about embedding a SWF on a web page.
