Which is the best method
Hi,
I would like to know, does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to create a flash video gallery that can be used in a website.
I would welcome any samples or tutorials that may be available.
I would appreciate it very much.
Cheers

www.cmmtv.co.uk/flash/flash.html - go to to Gallery then go to video gallery
this uses flv files and loads in thumbnails from info in a text file
Colour of the thumbnail in normal state is set by the geom.colorMatrix, and then returned to normal on rollOver
Not saying it's the best - it's just an example.

Hi Boris,
Thanks for the response. I really appreciate it much. The example seems to be perfect for the application I had in mind.
Would you know of any tutorials that can teach me how to do the same sort of thing?
Cheers

I don't know of a tutorial, but here are some details on how this was done.
Fraid I don't have the actual code though.
this is the content of the text file imported into the page mc

The variable string content is put into a multidimensional array
There are empty frame movieClips on the stage and they load in the first 3 jpgs from the array
The colour settings are done for each clip and they have rollOver and rollOut code
mc.onRollOver = function(){
//change color to normal with the function
colorNormal();
}
They also have an onRelease function set that sets the content path of the FLVPlayback component. This function also sets the textField text content using the data from the array
The arrow (back and next) buttons change the display by +3 or -3 in the array.
