I've been playing around with anyslider and am finding it to be pretty close to what I've been looking for. Only problem is that I have a bunch of FLV files and I just cannot seem to get my code to work within the <li> tags of the slider. I am using the anythingslider video.html demo as base code.
I created My FLV Player code with Dreamweaver CS4 and plugged it into one of the <li> sections of the slider. I also plugged the code in lower down, below the slider </ul> where it works just fine.
I have also tried to enclose it within <video> tags in the slider <li> as well but that made no difference.
When i view the page and move the slider to my flv slide all I get is the message and button from <div Id=NewVersion> at the bottom of the player object.
If I can readily get FLV files to play then Anythingslider will truly be an answer to prayer!! Please Help!
BTW, full disclosure: about 20 years ago I was a financial programmer on midrange systems (cobol, RPGII, BASIC) so I have a base understanding of logic flow. However, I have no clue about java, ajax or any other scripting language and I am only mildly literate regarding css. I have enough understanding of html to at least let me come up with reasonable questions to research. I say all this to simply request that I'm probably going to have a hard time understanding your suggestion so please be patient with me!
Here's a sample of the FLV player code code:

I don't know if the FLV player you are using provides a javascript api, but one is necessary before the slider can control the video player.
The easiest solution would be to use JW Player or Flow Player (I think one of those does support the flv format). Then follow the instructions on how to control them in the video page documentation.
Alternatively, if you know how to program in action script - I have no clue - you could add your own javascript api to the player.
