Thread: Flash Video skin not displaying

I have created my flash video and uploaded the following files, .flv, .fla, .swf and the skin to the same folder (media) and added the Active Control file to the root folder.

Problem is my skin does not appear when uploaded. Video plays fine but no skin or controls present. Skin displays fine in playback in flash CS3.

Any suggestions?

you should have the following files in your dir.

an html landing page

flv movie file

an swf player

swf controls

the extension doesnt matter

if you let flash output the html with the other required files and just change the extension to PHP then it will be fine

I can get the video to play just not the skin.

you can copy and paste the HTML out of the created page and put it in your PHP page

What a wally!

Managed to figure out the issue. I'm new to flash but still should have spotted this earlier......... My video was 320 x 240 and I made the stage the same size instead of adding extra height for the external controls!

Many thanks for your help David, much appreciated!
