Here is another class of mine , if you want to avoid using the lousy components of Flash CS4 .
It allows you to control a video trough a slider and the progress of the progressive download , all in one class only .
In fact, at first, i just wanted to add a flash component on my video player to allow moving the head of the video player and as well indicate the progress of the http download .

The idea is to retrieve only the sound track of the flash video, that can be helpful in some cases .
Basically, i really didn't want to install another dummy free mp3 converter soft that wouldn't work at the end with .flv files (but this you find out usually after the installation) .
So how to retrieve a sound track from a .flv and transcode it directly into an MP3 ?

I found myself in a situation today that leaded me to write this article, as i couldn't find anywhere on the internet someone who 've been through this kind of problem .

How would you handle the upload of very big files on a distant ftp server ?
Or , put differently, how would you notice on a distant ftp folder that big files arrived in full , and are complete , if you are not the one that send the file.
The code below might not work on a window- based machine, i only use it on linux servers, and didn't try it on a personnal computer , so don't ask me to resolve problems between windows and Apache/PHP or that kind of stuff, you won't find me ....

i was developping a video player lately , and i found out there was quite a few problems with the flash Slider component... The problems i met was when i tried to place a second slider on my player , and evetually tried to change its appearance ... Even if you can skin the player at your wishes, i didn't manage to skin two sliders differently .
Normally, the setStyle function should do the job, but even though i managed to skin the thumb differently ( ThumbUp, ThumbDown , ThumbOver ) through the use of the setStyle function , i never managed to change the trackSkin appearance.

This is my first attempt in litterally translating one of my article from french to english, so dear english readers , please don't be too harsh on my mistakes , i'll do my best though as i'm an english-language lover for many years now...

Now , what about that RSS reader in flash AS3 ? I'm not talking about Flex as i've never used it but that was an article about Flex that help me find out how to make it work .
Here's how it look (not so good graphically , i'm pretty bad at design) .
