This tutorial explains how to integrate your very own, custom flash video controllers using Flash CS3.

Flash Video is a type of video that can be played by Flash Player. A Flash Video file can be a separated FLV file or a video stream in a SWF file. It has various video encoding methods. Flash Player 6 only supports Sorenson Spark encoding method; Flash Player 7 supports one more encoding method, Screen Video that can compress files without losing the original quality. Apart from the two above-mentioned encoding methods, Flash Player 8 supports On2 VP6, which is currently the best encoder available. Its video quality is superior to MPEG4, H264, and DIVX. As Flash Video becoming more and more popular, it will be the major built-in web video file in the near future.

It’s been well over ten years now since the debut of the graphical web browser and we still don’t have an easy way to deliver rich typography using HTML/CSS.

The latest update to Macromedia Flash MX 2004 adds new file I/O capabilities to the JavaScript API (JSAPI). The shared library installed with the Flash MX 2004 7.2 Updater exposes a new FLfile object to JavaScript Flash (JSFL). This object contains 14 new functions that enable Flash developers to write Flash extensions that can access, modify, and remove files and folders on the local file system.

In this article [I] introduce you to the new functionality of the File API and show you how to implement it in your JSFL scripts.
