We're working on some code to provide an extremely simple to use, yet highly configurable framework for inserting our Flash media player into your widgets. If you want to try it out, we've published the JavaScript file for you to play around with! For those of you currently using our embedded players (wiki info on video here and audio here), you won't have to replace your code: it'll still work because we will continue to support it. We just wanted to create something new that would give our widget developers more options and an easier way to put a Flash movie player player into your widgets :)
You can either reference the script directly, or download it to make changes. If you are linking to the file we're hosting keep in mind we might make changes to it at any time. We will, of course, announce it on this blog.
The script is here: http://nmp.newsgator.com/host/NGSUP/js/BetaNGFlashVideo.js
Here is XML for a very simple widget that uses the new framework. Just save this file and upload the widget into your Editor's Desk account to get started! http://nmp.newsgator.com/host/NGSUP/misc/NG_Widget_141514__Examples_-_Video_Framework.xml
Let us know what you think, and any bugs you might find. The final version of the player will be announced here on this blog as soon as it's live!
