Few weeks ago a post at WebResourcesDepot had announced the new version of Flowplayer -an amazing Flash video player- and a chance to win free licenses of this player.

To Remind:

The player has a JavaScript API (with jQuery support) that enables you to control almost every aspect of the player.

It is totally skinnable & every part (component) of the player can be removed or re-positioned.

They have picked the winners: "3 most creative use of Flowplayer".

Here they are:

A Wordpress plugin for Flowplayer

The player is now much easier to integrate with Wordpress.

An advertising solution with the powerful Flowplayer API

The advertisement is placed under the canvas coupled with a pre-roll video ad. The content plugin is used to tell the user when the featured fighting video starts. A good example of Flowplayer scripting). 

Eye candy

Nice controlbar skinning together with fiercy red overlays. The Expose tool is used to further enhance the experience. You can see that having a custom image on the overlay is a very powerful way to visualize your pages.
