If you need help with this, that would be great. I could share some  
logic to the player below.  There is some custom things I would like  
to extend the logic with, and of course keep the design layer in mxml  
to import as an extended component of the flowplayer.

Yes im not too sure as yet what the progress with that is. We are  
using VP6 currently, though ive just realised how poor the quality is  
with the 700k files and at 200MB for 24 minutes ! What is the H264  
like, how exactly does it get encoded ? How big is the file and the  
bandwidth required etc. Im guessing the H264 will render better  
fullscreen etc.

Hi, I would enable the functionality to be extended rather than  
include the logic and make the player bloaty. Ie allow the user to  
extend the API and include the bits required, rather than including  
things they don't need. It terms of security features, I would allow  
the ability to do something custom so the logic isnt public etc,  
though that isnt a concerned to me. Ive also included auto bitrate  
detection logic, and bandwidth selections etc from a given set of  
bitrates in mine. So i would prefer to include the logic into a  
subclass and then include into the mxml as a component, and then lay  
out the controls how i see fit, and have those controls skinnable,  
thats how the current player is setup anyway.

As you can see there is status, a debug console, etc, so would be  
nice if there was these features in the API and it can be placed  
anywhere or customised in the mxml.

The designer didnt make the Flash8 skin template so easy to include  
stuff in a way that the player is easily resizable as I couldnt work  
out how to auto position the controls etc so make the app position to  
the size of the plugin. All the default components are skinned at  
compile time via css.

the scrub doesnt move the video while scrubbing because and old  
version of red5 was stuffing that up so it moves after dropping it. I  
did find skinning the Hslider quite painful, the thumb needs to be a  
flex class etc. I dont have a working version of the bitrate  
selection window but ill put a demo up somewhere.

There are also demo players and a library included with red5 and  
already in flex which I can prob look at also.
