Play local video with an HTML/Javascript based Adobe Air application
- by Matt Wood
I'm trying to add some video playback (that will be used for a tutorial) to my Adobe Air application. I'm not a Flex or Flash developer and my application is HTML/Javascript based, so I'm having trouble with some of the video solutions I've been able to find.
Here is one of the examples I've found that is flex based: Playing local files with Air
I've looked for a free flash video player that I could just embed. But the only one I've found I was unable to coerce to play files from my Air application directory.
I was exited at the prospect of using the HTML5 video tag which I thought Air supported, but that also seems to not work.
Can anyone recommend a free flash video player that I can embed? Or a solution that doesn't have to be built completely from flex?
