Ok, so to save everyone some time, I made a test page with valid code: http://www.misterhee.com/tests/strahle/
<http://www.misterhee.com/tests/strahle/>So, after seeing requests to the server for both the swf and skin file, I could not see the swf requesting the video. So I decompiled your swf, and I can see that you reference your source as: "C:\\temp\\Pawnee.f4v" As per the previous emails, can you please reference the resources Flash needs to load as relative paths? (we went through this with the skin file before) regarding the autoplay - this is something to set in your FLVplayback component in the FLA, not the HTML. The play param is only for the parent swf. You currently have it set to: autoPlay = true; Once you change these values, the test page I made SHOULD work as intended... Also, your code will not read any of the params, as you are missing the expressInstall param in your embedSWF() call, which means all values are out of index by one. Can you please use the code generator to help you write valid code?
