The test page allows you to see the behavior of various properties as you set some properties.

Where to download?

The latest version of VideoIO.swf will be available on the Google code project page. We will keep both debug and release build of the application. You can download it and put it on your web site when you embed VideoIO.

Alternatively, if you are not using any JavaScript API, but statically setting the properties using the flashVars API, you can directly link to the VideoIO.swf location.

Where can I get more information?

This is just the hosted web site for demonstration and tutorial of VideoIO application because those require JavaScript. The main project page is hosted on Google code. You can find additional information there, such as contributors, user feedback, frequently asked questions (FAQ), etc.
