Interesting Video Player for ActionScript-phobes
Jul 22, 2007 Author: lisa larson~kelley | Filed under: ResourcesI ran across this free video player, called video.maru, that allows you to play FLVs without using the FLVPlayback component, and without writing even one line of ActionScript.

Seems like a good solution for those who just don’t want to deal with AS, period. His implementation is really quite clever, and pretty intuitive. Worth a look for those just getting started with Flash video and know they don’t want too many custom features.

Hi Lisa and Renee,
Thanks for writing about video.Maru.
I checked out your book at Amazon. Congratulations, you have received some great reviews thus far. I think I’ll pick up a copy for myself to get up to speed on video in AS3.
I hope to see you two at MAX07 in Chicago.
