TO RAYZ: Question about flash app skins

I was wondering what the odds are, of every changing the flash apps so that they can be skinned via an external xml file??  Doesn't need to be to elaborate... just font colors, background colors, border colors.... all the basic stuff.

It would be nice if this hypothetical xml file could reside in the tmpl_someTemplate directory, so that flash apps can be easily tailored to match the look of the rest of the site.  Diving into the fla files to create a different skin and recompiling, just isn't a viable way to do things for most people... or anybody for that matter.  It's just too cumbersome.

C'mon Rayz ..... you can do this.

Rayz... check in please.

I know you're out there.

In space, no one can hear you scream.

One simple xml file could be used to skin ALL the flash apps.

That's not how it's done down under.

Who else thinks this would be a good idea?  Anyone?

plus 1

Im in for it.

I guess Rayz doesn't read these forums

Yup, Im another person that wants it. The things are so damn ugly, I though that it was done on purpose to make you buy skins, but I see them nowherzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

This would be great. It's kinda sad having to stick with the same colors all the time for all flash apps.

Why don't you just send Rayz a message?

You are a brave man.

You should have used Olga.

Tell ya what.  Forget it.  A simple question going unanswered for a week, speaks volumes.

I'll skin my own flash players.   I don't know why I asked.  I'm probably the only one here that wants the flash to match the rest of the site.

Silly Me

I'm sure most people won't mind that default player on a dark background.... but it hurts my eyes.  I have a little more work to do on the sounds player skin... I'm not quite satisfied with the play button in the middle of the screen, but at least it's an improvement over that grotesque thing in the middle of the default skin.  Got a  little more work to do on the progress bar, then I must replace the hideous volume control.

Oh well Flash Pro CS5 is only $600.

care to share how you recompiled all the files back into an swf file ?

Enjoy!

HL,

You are not the only one who wants that.  Can you imagine I actually want and think the same thing you do about that player.........hmmmmm...The player you designed looks so much better than the original but I a sure it's quite a bit of coding to make it happen......Very nice work though.......looks great....

I can't get the banner image to work on the video player and would like also an easy way to modify the vid player... has anyone figured this out yet?

Thanks
