you have these variables in the main.as:

could you please explain what they are and how they change?
private var planeAngle:Number=50; //70
private var planeSeparation:Number=380; //200
private var planeOffset:Number=120; //60
private var planeZOffset:Number=120; //60
private var selectPlaneZ:Number=-360; //-180
private var planeZSeparation:Number=60; //10

I tried to figure it out, by changing them but I do not get it.
Do you know?
Thanks.

Right now I've declaired my videoclips in “videoPathinfo.xml and the videofiles are directed in the same folder.. Is this right?

Thank You! / Marcus

What format does the videos have to be in? It's not working for me with a .flv -file. Is it supposed to be in .mov?

Twice, I have emailed dailyfilm to ask how this is done, but I never get a response.

Is there a way to get this effect and behavior from Coverflow HD Video Player?

A workaround with your flash video player would be to do a flv video with the cover and the mp3 file…
but it would be so much cooler to use the pictures and mp3 files without having to do a flv

Is that question a joke? You are rendering a coverflow display on an onEnterFrame and playing HD video at pretty much full screen. Its doing all this inside a plugin which is inside of a browser which is on top of your OS. A better question would be why isn’t it higher?

You could probably lower that CPU usage by making the coverflow render only when necessary MouseOver, MouseMove, Click, etc.

I am changing my website over to wordpress.org

Is there any way to incorporate this player into it?

Thanks,

Scott

I was wondering if you can help me out? how do i replace the HD video above with an image? like a larger view of the thumbnail below or another image linked to the thumbnail below.

this goes for anyone as well. =) is there anyone who can help me with the codes or something?? thanks! i hope to hear from you soon!

Did you get anywhere wit the pre loader idea?

my only problem is how do i make it not play automatically , which means that the first click on the picture will bring me to it and than pressing again… will luanch the movie.

Thanks

we have mad a few tweaks:
1. The pause screen issue now working (play/pause button disappeared in some instances, fast forward and rewind stopped working).
2. The volume mute. It now returns to the volume you set before hitting mute.
3. The pause screen appears at the end of the movie with “PLAY” message to replay movie.

Other things we think could do with being worked on:
1. Progress bar seek function (click on play head and drag to fast forward or rewind through the movie)
2. We are also finding that the player works fine locally but when up-loaded to the server it struggles to load second, third, etc movies. Is it possible that all the movies need to be pre loaded?

Hope this helps and thanks for the original work.
