I never use VideoLightbox, but as I said in one of previous comment, use ColorBox with flowplayer jquery tools it works fine. I used them many item. infact I use jquery UI most often but Flowplayer’s jquery tools is good too use as well.
Colorbox literately solve most of your popup problems with easy.

I made a typo in my last message. It is videolightbox who works as it should and not lightbox. That’s because jquery.tools.min.js is in html.

Hello Sumit

I wonder if you know why it does not work properly when you have videolightbox and lightbox together? Lightbox is working correctly as long as no jquery.tools.min.js appear in html. If not jquery.tools.min.js included the video only plays in full size of the screen. What I want is to have some part with lightbox and another part with videolightbox at the site. If you look at my site that I have linked you will see the lightbox works but the video will have full screen on videolightbox. I want the video screen to display the same size as the original film.

t would be extremely nice if you can figure out where the problem lies. Yours sincerely,

Please check documentation of VideoBox, However as said earlier, you can use colorbox instead of this patch for your purpose easily.

well, frankly I have leave this code unattended, because now I use the Jquery based slideshows with mix of facebox. Facebox open my dialog box with custom HTML. In that HTML I open up the Slideshow of video or image control from Florplayer tool slideshow.
Since both code us JQuery code they are compatible with each other and works fine. I will share that code when time permit.

Did you ever figure out how to get a set to work so you can click next and previous? Just curious because I could really use that feature.

And by the way, thank you for sharing your insight. It’s been a tremendous help!

Is there any way to link to your own video?

By: Sumit Gupta

I have already answer that question. Video Box or Light box are just a placeholder in good looking manner, playing Video or music or anything within them is not their task and hence they cannot do it of there own. For this you need to get your flv player or media player to play when they get loaded. Hope that make sense.

Hello, First no developer is poor, it is just that you might not do that stuff before.
Secondly it is not just JS programmer work as I suggest, you need to ask ActionScript developer to embed a notify code in his flash player. Later you just need to create a JS function that does something like
function CallToClose()
{

.visible = false;
}
