Export SWFObject code directly from Flash and Flex – taterboy
May 16th, 2009 | Filed under: Flash, Flex, Tips

SWFObject is the standard for embedding swfs into your webpages. In Flash CS4 the javascript embed code and plug-in detection has been combined into one file. This is easier then keeping track of extra javascript files, but not an easy way to transfer all that embed code to your web site.

HDflix an AS2 FLV Player For Custom Skins – taterboy
May 10th, 2009 | Filed under: ActionScript 2, Design, Flash, Free Components/Classes, Tips, Video

There are many video players and player skins available online, but it can take hours to build something completely custom. Here is an AS2 FLV player that can make creating completely custom Flash video players a lot easier. HDflix is a fully functional player, but allows you to assign your own artwork to the player controls. This is not skinning an existing component, it is creating artwork, then assigning the artwork pieces to each control. Once a control is assigned, rollovers, button state events and control functions are automatically applied to your artwork.

See the Readme file and demo below.
