This tutorial assumes that you have just installed FCplayer, as a window application, in your web page, following steps 1 and 2 of the
installation instructions. If you have not, you will need to go back and install it before proceding.
Note: Before you can play flvs on a windows server, you must set the mime types for flv/mp4 in IIS. Here is a tutorial on how to do this: Adding .FLV MIME Type in IIS
OK, let's get your page set up to play a video.
In general, when you use FCPlayer as a window application, you will want to provide a link to a video on your web page. When a user clicks the link, the FCPlayer media player window will open and play the video.
We will begin by creating the link which will play your video. We will be playing the video sample.flv, which is located in the FCPlayer/videos folder.
Cut and past the link code above into your web page.
Next, open your page in your web browser. Somewhere in your page, their should be a link to the sample.flv video. Click on it, and the video player will open, ready to play the video.
In the link code above, the FCPlayer.play function is telling FCPlayer to play the file 'sample.flv' in the default folder, which is FCPlayer/videos.. The FCPlayer.play function is placed in the link's onclick handler so that it can be called when the link is clicked.
In general, you use the FCPlayer.play function to tell FCPlayer what to play, how to play it, and which options to use. You will learn more about the FCPlayer.play function as you read these how-tos.
An example: Playing your own videos.
The easiest way to start playing your own videos is to do the following: 1) Let's say you have a video called mycat.flv. Place the video in the FCPlayer/videos folder. 2) Next, instruct FCPlayer to play your video by changing the link code above to:
Cut and past the link code above into your web page.
3) That's it. Open your web page again with your browser and you should be able to play mycat.flv.
Now you should return to the How to play a video tutorial, to learn about more things you can do with the FCPlayer.play function.
