  1. // send this file the flashvars: "videofile" + optional "barcolor" + optional "autoplay=false" + optional "mute=true"

  6. var objFlashVars:Object = getFlashVars();

  8. myVideo.autoPlay = true; // the FLVPlayback component instance on the stage is named myVideo
  9. myVideo.source = "http://www.mediacollege.com/video-gallery/testclips/20051210-w50s_56K.flv"; // a default video. This will be over-ridden by your value from the FlashVars
  10. myVideo.skin = getContextPath() + "SkinOverAllNoFullNoCaption.swf"; // feel free to change the skin. This will need to be placed in the same directory as the genplayer.swf
  11.  
  12. // Change settings based on FlashVars:
  13. if (objFlashVars.videofile != undefined) { myVideo.source = objFlashVars.videofile; }
