Flashvars into MediaPlayBack (flv player)

[casbboy]

I have a simple flv player that is entirely the MediaPlayBack component. I want the player to play the filename given in flashvars like "filename=thisvideo".

I will have the flash add on the ".flv" itself.

How can I do this?

Thanks

whre are you getting this flashVar from? in the URTL of the browser?..or in the embed tag/params?

either way once you do this.. the variable is always available on _root as soon as the movie loads.

and you dont have to append the .flv to the end.. it can be fileName=video.flv

OK,

Now i have a variable under 'afile' that is the root link to the video file. How do I put this variable into the URL under Media Playback parameters.

(in flash)

Thanks

Check that:

got it to work with:

fplayer.setMedia(afile, "FLV", true);

However, I still have one MAJOR problem. Since the FLV files are loaded dynamically, I can't get the video slider to work.

It just jumps to the end and if I touch it it starts the video over.

How can I get flash to figure out the length of the video?

Thanks
