FLVPlayback skin path trouble

[aldred]

What's going on here? I'm just doing the simple example of FLVPlayback, page 509 of the components language reference. I'm setting the path for the skin .... "file:///c|Program Files/Macromedia/Flash 8/ja/Configuration/Skins/ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf" ... and I know it's correct (japanese so 'ja'). But I'm getting a not found error when I preview the file.

Any idea why?

thanks

Is there really a pipe after c? Usually it's c:\ not c|.

Also you may need to urlencode the spaces in the path.

Looks like it. Found it in several other places in help.
I put the swf in the same folder as the work file and there was no problem. I'm thinking this may have something to do with the new Flash8 security set up?

Hi there,

Im experiencing the same problem.

If I test the movie locally all seems to be ok, the skin and video showing, but when i transfer it to the host, I keep the video but lose the skin...

Did you find an asnwer to your problem?

I have it working in a different file, but I can't remember if I solved the above problem. The working file uses an swf placed in the same folder, so the script is just ....

code:

---

my_FLVPlybk.skin = "vidskin.swf";
