Hello all,

As I am getting more familiar with FMS and understanding it better with the help of the wonderful contributors here on this forum, I am now curious about players.

Players such as Strobe and REOPS to be specific.

Are players all SWFs that are embedded in a page? I have seen some players here on the Adobe website that are stand-alone smaller windows that appear over the page. How is this done?

So Strobe and REOPS...are we talking SWF code that is editable? You can see I am quite new to this. I'm on a roll, however and wish to continue understanding and learning.

Many thanks!!!

Sincerely,

wordman

         - Can you point me to one of the links

         - Yes both can be modified and both are based on OSMF

    SE,

    In Lisa Larson-Kelley's helpful Flash411 tutorials, she offers three video tutorials on this page:

    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flash411_video.html

    When you click on the video launch links (large screenshots) a player window opens up and hovers over the top of the page. It's really quite nice and I'd be interested to know how to do it.

    Her tutorials are also very good and have led me here to some great understanding of FMS.

    Thanks!!!!!!

    Sincerely,

    wordman

    I have not looked at the link but it should be some kind of client-side programming - some kind of javascript which pop-ups another window which actually loads another html page which has swf which in turn connects to FMS or progressively downloads video.

    You can just right click on the page - do View Source and try to figure out what its doing.
