Is it possible to change the circular image that is displayed when the video is loading?

Posted: May 23, 2010

I'm thinking about buying a commercial license, but first I would like to know if it's possible to change the circular "loading image" that is displayed once the user clicks on the play button. For example, flowplayer's default animation looks like this:

It contains no branding. Vimeo's animation looks like this:

Can something like this be done with flowplayer?

There is no api to do so, but I think you could replace the 'rotation' component in the resources.fla here:http://code.google.com/p/flowplayer-core/source/browse/#svn/flowplayer/trunk/src/flash

and compile your own version of the player. I've never done this myself, but that is my best guess on how to go about this.

Thats exactly right, I replaced the the circle with my own logo in the resources.fla file and it works perfectly. In fact that file hasnt changed since 3.0 so I've been able to recompile each versio up to 3.2 without having to recreate the resources file again.

The image you are referring to, is called a Preloader. Yes, you can change that. For that you will have to change Preloader in Resources.fla, generate swc of it. And then compile and build player from source.

Hope it helps

hi, am trying to modify the rotation symbol inside the resources.fla to use our own fla file for the animation.

When I open the properties for the rotation symbol, I can see under the source section, it is using 'progressindicator.fla'. I am assuming I can change that to our own fla, is that correct? I tried but it doesnt work.

Please help. Sorry im newbie in using flash.
