How to custom embed Soundcloud track? - html

Is it possible to embed a Soundcloud track with only a custom play and pause button and the title of the song?
Look out for some advice.

Using the widget api, you can bind method to play pause .... https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/html5-widget#methods
And with css you can still hide the widget.
Other option is using the api https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/guide#playing
Streaming Sounds Note if you are going to stream from our API you need
to attribute properly. Make sure you've read our Terms and Attribution
Guidelines to make sure you treat our creators content correctly. When
using a custom player you must:
Credit the uploader as the creator of the sound
Credit SoundCloud as the source by including one of the logos
Link to the SoundCloud URL containing the work
If the sound is private link to the profile of the creator
If you don't want to use the SoundCloud widget,
our API gives you the ability to access a sound's stream URL and use
your own player to play sounds from SoundCloud.

AS3 Vimeo API: Any way to stop forward scrubbing of unviewed video?

Does anyone know of a way to prevent a user from scrubbing forward into unviewed video using the AS3 Vimeo API? Basically I want to make it so the viewer can review parts of a tutorial already seen, but can't jump ahead.
I was able to target the VideoScrubberView object and it's children, but I'm not sure how to override the behavior.

DoubleClick studio. Chromeless youtube player

I need to use a youtube player component in a rich media banner I'm making. I can't find any chrome less version of the one from youtube?
I know there is one but how can i access it?
Yes, there is a chromeless version available.
It's accessable through the YTPlayer Proxy Component, which can be downloaded here:
http://www.google.com/doubleclick/studio/docs/innovation/ytplayer/en/index.html
Then you have to set the playerType parameter like this:
var ytp:YTPlayer = new YTPlayer();
ytp.playerType = "chromeless";
//valid values "embedded" or "chromeless"
The full documentation (hard to find) for using the youtube player in doubleclick can be find here:

Vimeo player custom controls

I´m using froogaloop to work with Vimeo in order to use it in my sites. My problem here is that I´d like to customize the player as you can see here in the "Customize to your taste" part -> http://vimeo.com/player
The last point is a simplified control interface that I would like to use, but I´m not capable to do it. These are the parameters that we seem to be able to tweak -> http://developer.vimeo.com/player/embedding#universal-parameters
Any idea about how to work with these features?
Thanks!
Plus and PRO members can choose to customize their embeds (https://vimeo.com/s/tce). Those options are not available as embed code parameters.

As3 Google DoubleClick Video

I'm very frustrated with Google DoubleClick's AS3 documentation. I'm not an advanced ActionScript coder and I have limited experience with streaming video, but I feel like their API is omitting a lot of information about how these classes actually work.
I'm attempting to load an FLV to play in an expanded unit. Their video component API shows how to control playback of a video, but it doesn't say anything about how to actually load an flv file through code into the component.
http://www.google.com/doubleclick/studio/docs/sdk/flash/as3/en/com_google_ads_studio_video_VideoPlayer.html
I found a controller API, but I have no idea how a "controller" works, or what it is, and the API doesn't explain anything outside of vague general information. I assume the controller needs to be somehow associated with the video player component, but there's nothing anywhere on Google that explains this in any form.
http://www.google.com/doubleclick/studio/docs/sdk/flash/as3/en/com_google_ads_studio_video_VideoController.html
So, in conclusion, what I want is simple. I want to programically load an flv file into a video component on the stage, and have it play. I feel like this is a simple thing to do. I can do this with netstream objects and regular means, but Google has explained nothing in it's API on how to achieve this in studio rich media, and I have no idea how the inner workings of it's components function. Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?
For using video in Studio, you use either the basic or advanced video player component, and component inspector to specify your video, then upload all your assets.
You can literally browse through hundreds of templates, including filtering for features like video, and choose one that best fits your needs along with documentaion here.

Here is the AS3 API for video

Add annotations to a web video

I would like to implement a web application where you can upload a video (e.g. in mp4 format) and add custom messages to it or tag specific frames. I need to be able to determine the location, size and duration of the balloon containing the text. The interface should be easy enough to use and allow you to add a simple text or a link.
How could I implement this? Is there a platform I could use? Looking around I found this platform called WireWax which basically does everything I need, however there is no pricing section and I suspect that you have to contact them directly.
Another interesting product that I found is Popcorn.js which allows you to add annotations to videos, but I would have to create from scratch the interface to add messages.
Do you have any advice?
Popcorn.js does indeed have an interface. It's called Popcorn Maker, and it's here:
https://popcorn.webmaker.org/
It's open source, so you can modify it however you like. The source is here: https://github.com/mozilla/butter
