Colibri, formerly named PurePlayer, is an ultra-lightweight AS3 video player class. Pureplayer is open source, and based on pure actionscript, no library assets required.

1.What it looks like?

Actually the interface is really simple and easy to implement. Feel free to upgrade it as you like! Have a look here (by the way thats my punkrock band.. volume is turned to 0.. this tune is really noisy

2.How i get it into work?

The syntax is really simple and into the package there’s a .fla document with sample code included.  Something like this:

//import the colibri class.
import com.chrometaphore.display.video.colibri.Colibri;
import flash.media.SoundTransform;

//set few vars here...
var videoURL:String         = "path_to_video.f4v";
var videoWidth:Number       = 500;
var videoHeight:Number      = 300;
var autoPlayVideo:Boolean   = false;

//"adjust" keep the selected width / height ratio.
//"original" set the original video width / height
var resizeMode:String = "adjust";

//create a video player instance using the vars we just created
var player:Colibri = new Colibri(   videoWidth,
									videoHeight,
									videoURL,
									autoPlayVideo,
									resizeMode );

//set starting thumbnail..
player.thumbnail = "path_to_thumbnail.jpg";

//you can access the thumbnail properties in this way..
player.thumb.alpha = 0.5;

//i am setting the buffer time to 2 seconds..
player.video.stream.bufferTime = 2;

//player position..
player.x = 0;
player.y = 0;

//render the video instance
addChild(player);

//play video:
//player.play();

//pause video:
//player.pause();

//N.B -> you can control stream values -> using instance.video.stream
//for instance, the code below mute the video volume.
//var st:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
//st.volume = 0;
//player.video.stream.soundTransform = st;
