PocketMatrix Flash Movie Player - Test
Posted: Sep 22, 2004 @ 10:29pmHello,
It's been a LONG time, I know, or should I say pulled a 999?~
In any case, I mentioned the idea of a Flash Movie player for Pocket Internet Explorer that would allow mobile users to watch the trailers on this site via their browser in my last post here. Much to my suprise, it wasn't as easy as it sounded, but after a bit of scripting, it's working
I'm asking the regulars here to give it a test run as far as functionality goes. Does it work for you? Does the player fit the screen correctly? Do you get an annoying box around the embedded flash movie?
You can test out this player for a short period of time. I don't have awesome hosting, so it won't be available long due to bandwidth constraints.
Your downloads will be slow - Sorry
To Use the Player:
You must be in Pocket Internet Explorer with the view setting on "Fit to Screen."
Use the arrow keys to browse the movie titles. Click the movie title to view that movie. Load progress is displayed in the playback bar. Rewind/fastfoward are done by dragging the playback bar head. Clicking the box to the left of the playback bar pauses and plays the movie. The vertical slider is for volume.
Planned:
Cleaned up and skinned interface with PocketMatrix branding
Centered video playback for letterbox movies, (undecided)
Browse movies by categories
