AFComponents has done it again. They’ve heard the cry for a high-quality embeddable FLV player that was as easy as drag and drop. Now such a thing is available and it’s FREE. Yes, I said FREE.

This free, embeddable version is derived from another one of their products, FLV Player (AS 3.0) Basic Skins component. The key difference, besides being free, is that it does not require Flash. AFComponents provides the .swf in the download package. The key difference between this embeddable FLV Player between other free players out on the web is that this one of high-quality design.

Embeddable FLV Player V1.0 has several advanced features, including:

• Dynamic size based on embed parameters
• Play, buffering, and replay icons
• Autobuffer and autoplay settings
• Fixed skin autohide (hiding uses MOUSE_LEAVE for the stage)
• Shrink video window on complete
• Display links to more videos with XML

WOW! The set of features listed above would make you believe that AFC was getting something out of this. AFComponents simply wants professionals who currently don’t own Flash to feel comfortable using a quality player they can be proud.

High five to all the guys and gals over at AFComponents!
