How to Add the Loading Progress to an FLV Player Skin

Flash media is typically created for online usage, whereby you will play a Flash file in your web browser. If you want to distribute Flash content for use without the Internet, you need a player. FlvPlayerPRO allows you to build standalone players for Flash videos (FLV). Most FLV files will load automatically on a computer, but sometimes they may still need to load. In this instance it is useful to add a progress bar to the skin, to show users how long is left to wait. This is set up in the Parameters tab in flvPlayerPRO.

Instructions

1. Open flvPlayerPRO from the "Start" menu. Press "Ctrl" and "O" and open a project you want to add the progress bar to.

2. Expand the "Properties" box at the bottom of the program.

3. Click the "Parameters" tab.

4. Locate "Progress Bar." To the right of the text will be a field displaying "False." Double-click this and type "True." Press "Enter."

5. Press "Ctrl" and "S" to save the project. When you build the project it will now feature a progress bar.
