Your bes bet is to use the Flex compenent kit from flash. It resolves all the IUIComponent issues with using this directly in flex.

The other option would be to edit the FLVplayback source and implement the IUIComponent interface…but that would be pretty long. If you do it Let me know.

It doesn’t seem to work for me

Could you provide a zip file of your project so i could try to get it working?

It’s weird that a one liner doesn’t work:

container.addChild((new UIComponent()).addChild(playback));

instead of:

var spriteWrapper:UIComponent = new UIComponent(); container.addChild(spriteWrapper); spriteWrapper.addChild(playback);

hey rain_jr,

use the following to get around the type coercion problem:

var spriteWrapper:UIComponent = new UIComponent(); container.addChild(spriteWrapper); spriteWrapper.addChild(playback);

I found the answer to my question on defining the swf size.
Apparently you can define the size,background color and framerate of the swf by adding a meta tag like so

package {

import fl.video.*;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[SWF(width=856,height=512,backgroundColor="#333333",framrate=30)]
public class player extends MovieClip{ class constructor …

Still one question though, how did you figure out you needed an Icon class and the bounding box fix? Just so I can import other classes directly and track down the errors

Thank you for the thorough advice. I have tried various methods of bringing the FLVPlayback component into a flex 3 Actionscript only project. The Copy the fl package from your Flash CS3 directory method is the best one yet. It compiled and played perfectly. I still have some size issues with defining the player size and scale as my content is 16:9 or wide screen. Flex seems to compile all swfs to 100% of the HTML wrapper. If you have advice on that it would just be like frosting on the cake

Followed procedure 1 for using swc exactly and got:

Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert fl.video::FLVPlayback@74e7221 to mx.core.IUIComponent.
