The video has 3 main parts: html/javascript API, Flash API and the Chromeless Player (an swf without buttons). This allows you to use custom layout controls for your website.

The Highly Extrensible CSS Interface by Cameron Moll

The roundup. This might be the best showcase article of 2008!

Introducing “The Highly Extensible CSS Interface,” a four-part series of how-to’s and savvy conversation to be published in the coming weeks, with the first article debuting this week. The phrase “highly extensible” is in reference to designing and coding interfaces that are flexible enough to adapt in ways the designer or developer may not foresee when handing off coded templates, while still retaining the overall aesthetic integrity of the layout. I hope you come to discover extensibility as being broader than just “bulletproofing,” though bulletproofing is certainly a significant part of it.
