479491 News Ticker Plug In for the JW Player

We need a news ticker plug-in for the JW Player. The idea is to replicate a typical news ticker that you would see on a news program. Please see the attached image. The plug-in should function similar to the Newsticker plug-in ([login to view URL]) that is currently available on the Longtail Video website. Your version of the news ticker should: 1. Read messages from an XML configuration file and scroll them across the bottom of the JW Player after it loads. Requirements: a. The news ticker messages should be read from an XML file ([login to view URL] – see below 2b). b. The news ticker should loop through all of the messages continuously. c. The news ticker messages should be separated by two spaces, a dash, and two more spaces. Example: (message - message) d. The news ticker should start scrolling as soon as the video player is loaded. e. The news ticker should scroll the messages regardless of the player state (stopped, paused, playing, etc). f. The news ticker background should be a partially transparent. See the current plug-in for an example. 2. The news ticker should have two configuration files: a.
