player skin modifications

FLAVIO: Can you give us more insight into how this is done? Like what functions or code that has to be included in the ast_remote? Also, does the playershell.swf need to replaced?

Will expanded access like the player skin fla be included in updates to the SDK? That's really needed, so we can mod the player to brand it and integrate custom graphics, vs just adding tabs. And having fullscreen mode is likely a should-have feature, since youtube and all other modern flash video players nowadays enable the user to click an icon to give fullscreen flash mode.

Any word on that, and the player.fla source being sent to us as SDK updates?

Yeah, have to agree with this post. I thought the player.fla would be included for some minor skin modifications. To develop a whole new skin is beyond my abilities which means more expense and development time in bringing someone in from the outside plus the testing required to create a new product. Kinda killed the project timeline...

I've been doing full reskinning of Articulate for a while now. Here is a sample of what is possible. (I've blocked out some content) A Sample Skin Image edit (here is the link, seems the linking isn't working properly) http://www.zprocess.net/commentcatch...ample_skin.png

I've added saved LMS bookmarks and progress features. Full widescreen capability, and much more.

Its possible, it is a bit of work, but darn fun to work on.
