FLVPlayback Component
While Flex has a vast array of components that allow for almost all the needs of the average Flex developer there are a few omissions. One of these is a proper Videoplayer component like teh one found in Flash. While Flex does have a VideoDisplay component this is nothig more than a area that a use can load a video into. It doesn't provide any form of controls to allow the user inteeract with the actual video - play, pause, mute etc).
To this end I decided to create an FLVPlayback component for Flex. While the initial build only has the core functionality this is very serviceable component as it stands but additional functionality is planned for subsequent releases see Wishlist
