Has any one modify the flash to this player to allow us to work with the seek-bar? that’s the only thing this player is missing the ability to see the seek bar with out the player being viable, so we can use java on the seek.

Can someone please tell me how can I change the color of the “loadbar” from white (default color) to something else?

Thanks.

Hi there. How can i change the color of the white strip in the play bar? I’ve managed to customize every other element of the player, but I cannot successfully change the white strip. The element seems to be bgBar in the Flash fla file, but when i fill it with another color, it effects the button and text background areas.

Is the bgBar transparent? If so, which element can i edit to change the white color of the play progress bar which displays BEFORE the player begins to play?
Many thanks.

Hey willi, can you please explain in some greater detail how to loop a track? I swear I’ve tried every way of incorporating your bit of code into a java tag under my html document and I cannot figure out how to get it right. My song always stops at the end every time.
Do you mean that we should put the name of the song before .onSoundComplete? i would think we should put niftyplayer(‘niftyPlayer1′) but that doesn’t seem to work for me either. Please help me I’ve been trying to get this to work for days.

Hi, is there any approach possible with nifty players that it will play only for a predefined interval say 30 sec?

Seems to be good but this SWF has fixed width/size and cannot be adjusted..

@Howard I created a custom controller for the niftyPlayer, but I too ran into the same shortcomings: No volume control nor seek ability. The Yahoo! Media Player has a more robust API, and will probably meet your needs: http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com

Here’s my blog post on the topic, which explains what I was doing, and links to several test pages using both the nifty and Yahoo players:

I need a player which is hidden, and which allows me to control the volume and the playing position using JavaScript, which NiftyPlayer apparently doesn’t allow.

Here is an example using HTML5 JavaScript:

Is this possible using Flash?
