So you need to make sure you give enough room in your swf to display the skin. As you have specified the "under" skin, ot means you need at least 20px or so of extra height to display the skin under the video. What are the dimensions of your f4v?
To be clear, everything is displaying correctly when you export the HTML / Flash file on your desktop? (I am just surprised how much trouble you are having if everything was already working as intended before you tried to place your content on your web server) Aran On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 4:46 PM, hcccs <[email protected]> wrote: > Whichever publishing method I choose the video plays but I cannot get > any control (skin). > I set the parameters in Components Inspector thus: > align=topleft > autoplay=true > skin=SkinUnderPlaySeekStop.swf > skinAutoHide=false > source=pawnee.swf > > I assume that the 'source' parameter is the relative referencing that > your told me to use. > > > <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http:// > www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> > <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en" xml:lang="en"> > <head> > <title></title> > <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; > charset=iso-8859-1" /> > <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/swfobject.js"></script> > <script type="text/javascript"> > swfobject.registerObject("pawnee", "9.0.0", "/movies/ > expressInstall.swf"); > </script> > </head> > <body> > <div> > <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" > width="400" height="400" id="pawnee"> > <param name="movie" value="/movies/pawnee.swf" /> > <!--[if !IE]>--> > <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/movies/ > pawnee.swf" width="400" height="400"> > <!--<![endif]--> > <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer";> > <img src="/images/getflash.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash > player" /> > </a> > <!--[if !IE]>--> > </object> > <!--<![endif]--> > </object> > </div> > </body> > </html> > > Hans > > On Aug 25, 8:24 pm, Aran Rhee <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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.
