Quick how do you make a Flash video player? Easy... Open Flash MX 2004 change your stage to 300 x 200 pixels. Open Components and the Media Components list. Drag the MediaDisplay component to the stage. Open the Align panel and re-align the component to the center (no borders here). Select your MediaDisplay on the stage and open the Component Inspector. For URL type theVideo.flv. Select Automatically Play and Use Preferred Size. Save and Publish to SWF. Now you have a very quick, very dirty FLV player of your own. Place in a directory with any Flash Video file. Re-name said video to theVideo.flv. Open the quick and dirty player in Flash player (or the web browser of your choice). Since the video player isn't wrapped in HTML, it has no size set. The size of the movie is the default size now, but zoom in an boom you have the possiblity of full screen video.

Other ideas... Add a bit of actionscript to the beginning of the player to ask for the file location of the video the user wants to play. Use the MediaPlayback Component instead to utilize Flash's default player properties. Press Ctrl+F or Apple+F to automatically fullscreen the player in Flash Player, repeat to bring back to normal size. Add your new video player to Google Sidebar and watch TV on your Desktop.
