I am trying to do an ASP.net custom control for the Flow Player flv

  • 0

I am trying to do an ASP.net custom control for the Flow Player flv player that has the swf object embedded. With Steve Orr Controls I learned that you can embed javascript files and register them so you don’t have to always add the javascript files manually. I am wondering if this holds true to SWF files.

I have been reading all over the net and I am trying to figure out if I am crazy looking for something that cant be done? Or maybe I am assuming that I can make this XXYYWW122313 URL can be useful?

I am getting the urls but when I try to show the video in the rendered < A > tags as per instructions by the flowman site. Also I have been researching the other flv players available, still the question remains on how to embed the swf flash video player and using the webresource url.

In short what I am doing is the following:

   Imports System.Web     Imports System.Web.UI     Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls     Imports System.ComponentModel <DefaultProperty('FlowPlayer'), ToolboxData('<{0}:FlowManHlp runat=server></{0}:FlowManHlp>')> _ Public Class FlowManHlp     Inherits Control      Private flowPlayerPath As String     Private flowPlayerJSPath As String        Protected Overrides Sub OnPreRender(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)         MyBase.OnPreRender(e)          If Me.DesignMode Then Exit Sub          Dim rstype As Type = Me.GetType         Dim rsname As String = 'FlowMan_Helper.Resources.flowplayer-3.0.5.min.js'          ' Register the client resource with the page.         Dim cs As ClientScriptManager = Page.ClientScript         cs.RegisterClientScriptResource(rstype, rsname)         'cs.RegisterClientScriptResource(rstype, 'FlowMan_Helper.Resources.flowplayer-3.0.5.swf')       End Sub      Protected Overrides Sub Render(ByVal writer As System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter)         Dim htmlwrite As New System.Text.StringBuilder()         htmlwrite.Append('<a href=''http://blip.tv/file/get/KimAronson-TwentySeconds73213.flv''')         htmlwrite.Append(' Style = ''display:block;width:400px;height:300px''')         htmlwrite.Append(' id=''player''></a>')          htmlwrite.Append(vbCrLf & '<script>')         htmlwrite.Append(vbCrLf & 'flowplayer(''player'', ''' & flowPlayerPath & ''' );')         htmlwrite.Append(vbCrLf & '</script>')         htmlwrite.Append(vbCrLf & '<script>')         htmlwrite.Append(vbCrLf & 'HelloWorld();')         htmlwrite.Append(vbCrLf & '</script>')          '      <script>         '   flowplayer('player', '../flowplayer-3.0.5.swf');         '</script>         writer.Write(htmlwrite.ToString())     End Sub      Private Sub FlowManHlp_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init         flowPlayerPath = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(Me.GetType(), 'FlowMan_Helper.Resources.flowplayer-3.0.5.swf')         flowPlayerJSPath = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(Me.GetType(), 'FlowMan_Helper.Resources.flowplayer-3.0.5.min.js')          flowPlayerPath = ResolveClientUrl(flowPlayerPath)      End Sub

  1. Did you make sure you marked the embedded resource as an ‘Embedded Resource’ for the solution, so that it bundled it in with the compiled code?

    Also, switch to WebResource instead of ScriptResource.

    Google searches have a lot of tutorials too. Try Understanding ScriptResource and WebResource in ASP.NET
