Specify Player Path

[James_C__Baker]

Hello Adobe People!

Hopefully somebody can help me with a peculiar problem.

Shouldn't be too hard for a true expert.

First off - I'll describe the background and the problem.....

I use a video game program called Hyperspin. Hyperspin is a program used to host video games and artwork.

You don't have to know anything about Hyperspin in order to help me, so allow me to continue...

Hyperspin also allows users to use SWF's to show off cool artwork created in Flash.

I like to make nostalgic video game videos to show off particular brands of games made a long time ago.

I've figured out a little bit of actionscript and have actually been able to show my videos within hyperspin using actionscript, but have run into a problem.

Hyperspin is programmed to only show artwork based off of a 4:3 scale. I would like to show 16:9 displays of the videos I've made. I've asked the people at hyperspin about this and they've told me that I can by specifying it in actionscript....

Let me show you guys what I use for my script presently...

import fl.video.FLVPlayback;

import fl.video.VideoEvent;

flvControl.autoRewind = true;

flvControl.autoPlay = true;

function Loop(event:fl.video.VideoEvent):void

{

  flvControl.play();

}

flvControl.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.AUTO_REWOUND, Loop);

This script works beautifully for playing all of my videos locally. It stops them when unselected and loops them if I stay on the same selection, but like I said above - I'd like to play it the standalone flash player I downloaded instead of the embedded flash player in Hyperspin. Using hyperspin's flash player makes it to where I have to output all of my swf's at 1024x768. Don't get me wrong - My videos anamorphically stretch and they look GREAT! But they would look EVEN BETTER if I could play them in the standalone player with no stretching used at all.

I've tried searching this over and over again. Maybe I've ran across the answer, but due to lack of knowledge with actionscript perhaps I didn't recognize specific terminology or so on....

So really, all I want to do is add a line or series of lines directing that script to play my swf's in adobe standalone player.

Any help would be appreciated and I look forward to anybody's feedback.

Don't mean to complain, but this is EXACTLY why I hate Adobe customer service.

Phone support doesn't help, so I was thrust into the forums where my question HAS YET to be answered.

Not a hard question for an expert.
