How to edit flash video player with code?

PlayerDIY Web Player is a graphical program for customizing skinning flash video player for web, and the generated flash video player definitely can be easily edited on its graphical interfaces. However, in order to make player users could conveniently build video sharing site, PlayerDIY Web Player also offers a solution to make payer users could edit the player with HTML, and could implement playing a specific video in a new page (have a look at the example) in video sharing sites.

Here, the example below will teach you how to edit the flash video player generated with PlayerDIY Web Player with HTML.

Example:
After publish your custom flash video player with PlayerDIY Web Player, you can get the following embed code of it on the published index.html file.

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="flashcontent">Player will show here</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('mwplayer.swf','player','500','450','9');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addParam('quality','high');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

1. <div id="flashcontent">Player will show here</div> means after embedding the generated flash video player onto webpage, the player will show between tag <div> and </div>.

2. mwplayer.swf is the actual flash video player, and the path of it can be changed via this parameter, e.g.:” /players/mwplayer.swf” means the player resides in a folder named "players".

3. 500 is the width of the player, and 450 is the height of the player, so the player size can be changed by changing them.

4. Other properties about the generated flash video player (like the property of playlist, skin, playback, etc) also can be edited by adding so.addParam, for example:
1). If add “so.addParam('flashvars','playerOpts=previewBar*black.swf*s||pauseAtFirstFrame*false*b');” between “so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');” and “so.write("flashcontent");”, it means the player will have a playlist and, the playlist is black. And the video in the player can be played automatically.
2). If add “so.addParam('flashvars','playerOpts=playItem*0*i||pauseAtFirstFrame*false*b');” between “so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');” and “so.write("flashcontent");”, the player will automatically play the first video of the playlist.
3). If add “so.addParam('flashvars'','playerOpts=playListPath*^^../videos/myvideo.flv^../videos/myvideo.jpg*s||pauseAtFirstFrame*false*b ||noWatchBtn*true*b||noPlayListBtn*true*b');” between “so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');” and “so.write("flashcontent");”, it means the player will automatically play a video named myvideo.flv whose thumbnail named myvideo.jpg and they are inside the “videos” folder. And the player has no the previous, next and playlist icons on the control bar.

According to the examples above, we could know that each added parameter (e.g.:pauseAtFirstFrame*false*b) includes three parts, they are: 1. the property name "pauseAtFirstFrame"; 2. the value of the property "false" between "*"; 3. the data type of the property "b". And each parameter is separated with "||".
Note: No line break in the so.addParam code.
