Now I've given up the idea to get this with .f4v files to work. I could never figure out where to put the web.config file. I tried to put a small web.config file in the root directory but it screwed up everything. I have now tried with .flv and when I put all four files (pawnee.flv, expinstall.swf, pawnee.swf and pawnee.php in the same directory ( in this case /movies) everything works perfectly - with skin and all. I have then tried to change the urls in the pawnee.php to point at the 'movies' directory and put the file in the root directory where I think it belongs and then again - nothing works, just a white screen. I know that relative addresses with Flash is said to be tricky but this is too much. Is there a solution to this? After all, the basics work now so the solution can't be far away, or ...?
