FlowPlayer Skinning Kit
=======================
This is the FlowPlayer skinning kit - a tool that can be used to create a new 
custom skin for the player.

Version history 
---------------
Version numbers follow main FlowPlayer development

1.19  First version with the ability to change the images used in the user
      interface.

Overview of the files in the package
------------------------------------

	bin/			swfmill.exe (http://iterative.org/swfmill)
	flowplayer-lib/		FlowPlayer precompiled files
	images/			Images used for the skin
	lib/			Ant jar
	xml/			FlowPlayer swfmill definition files

Installation and prerequisites
------------------------------

You need to have a Java runtime and Apache Ant installed to use this kit. 
The kit has been tested to run on Java 1.5, Java 1.6, and Ant 1.7.0

To install, just unpack the zip file into a location of your choice.

The kit contains a Windows version of swfmill. Linux and Mac versions of 
swfmill are available in the swfmill Web site. You need to download and 
replace the windows swfmill.exe in the bin folder with the Mac/Linux swfmill 
binary. Also change the following line in the build.properties to point to 
the swfmill binary. You should use swfmill version 0.2.11 
(will not work with the newer version).
 

Usage
-----

The kit runs from the command line. CD to the directory where you unpacked the 
distribution package and run ant. If the build runs successfully you will see a 
message "BUILD SUCCESSFULL" and the generated player is placed in 
build/FlowPlayer.swf. By default it generates the default player with the gray
skin.

To create your own skin replace the image files in the images directory.

Roadmap
-------

We need a way to change the placement/coordinates of the images. Currently you
can only change the PNG files.
