Flash-Only Player APIs

[BC-Oscar]

WilHarris and yrox,

To accomplish what you need this is what I would do:

1. Build a custom component and add it to BEML using SWFLoader.

•  Check out this dev article on how to create a custom player component and use it as a BEML component.

       http://support.brightcove.com/en/docs/creating-custom-player-components

• In your custom component, you can access the Player APIs. To read a parameter from the snippet with the volume you want to preset, call getPlayerParameter() in the Experience Module API

       http://docs.brightcove.com/en/player/com/brightcove/api/modules/ExperienceModule.html#getPlayerParam...()

• To set the volume use the setVolume() API on the VideoPlayer API

I hope this helps.

Can there be one javascript file used for multiple players?

Do you mean using the same JS script to set the volume for different players? It's possible, here is a post related to the Advertising API but the same principle can be used for any of the other APIs.

I'm fairly new to the BC platform. How do I implement the Javascript within ALL of our players plain and simple?

I am trying to make the player on http://fuel.tv play automatically on mute. Do I need a seperate js file to make it happen? I tried following directions and was unable to solve the issue. Please check it out.
