v1.0.1

Conversion to ActionScript 3

This is the first version of the ccPlayer built in AS3.

CCforFlashAS3 component updated

ccPlayerAS3 has been updated with the current 1.0.1 version of the CCforFlashAS3 component.

Streaming videos

ccPlayerAS3 can playback videos being streamed from an ActionScript 3 Flash Media Server (FMS).

Larger video viewing area

The video region of ccPlayerAS3 has been expanded to a maximum height and width of 480px by 360px.

Vertical resizing

When ccPlayerAS3 detects a video height smaller than its maximum height, it will resize itself vertically. This is done after receiving the height and the width of the video from the video's metadata. In order to prevent visible resizing of the player when its parent HTML page is launched, two new parameters ccVideoHeight and ccVideoWidth can be used to preset the size of the video region.

ccRewind

The default action of ccPlayerAS3 is to stop when the end of the video is reached. The new ccVideoRewind parameter can be used to indicate that ccPlayerAS3 should return the playhead to the beginning of the video when the end is reached (ccVideoRewind=true).

ccPosterImage

ccPlayerAS3 can load an external image to use as the poster image in the player.

ccCaptSourceType defaults to 'external'

The default value of ccCaptSourceType is now external. This means external caption files can be identified using just the ccCaptionSource parameter.
