Poster Frame Generator 0.02 Released!

Poster Frame Generator is a simple implementation of FLVPlayback object which allows CMS authors and video sharing sites to provide a simple and easy way to capture that all important poster frame image.

LIVE DEMO

You can download either the compiled SWF or you can download the entire source tree. If you simply want to plug this into your CMS/Perl/PHP site then you should be able to do so without needing to create a new SWF file. Everything is available on GITHUB for you to download:

Please not that you also need SkinUnderAllNoCaption.swf but you do not need the audio files. You can find an example Object tag in the README file.

This project was inspired mostly by these 3 links:

Most of the credit has to go to these individuals. All I did really was put the pieces together.
