09 Jan: FLV Player in Flex

I'm working on a FLV player for the new website of Repent.The current site is completely build in Flash and it's maintainability is low because it's pretty advanced coding. Everything you see happening is coded except for the logo. The new site has a fresh and awkward design and contains lots of gadgets like a FLV player which I wrote in Flex.Write a comment for this article
First of all I choose Flex over Flash because of the learning moment and because the possibility to make the player fullscreen was a big reason. My employer is in New York at the moment buying a book (which is not for sale in The Netherlands) for me which I hope will be a big help.
Flex is pretty powerful but for me as a Flash developer it's not yet clear enough how I could write an application like it should. Although I found out how to skin Flex components with Flash (pretty important for me as a designer), that the VideoDisplay component is a blessing and that I still don't know how to make changes to the layout without scripting (States are the key but how these things work is a riddle for me still).
My planning is to release the new website half January but don't hold me on that.
ps: I found a nice Flex application on the net, it's from Sony Ericsson, a big company taking Flex as platform. Nice
