Skin not playing

[gschweig]

I am trying to create a swf that plays an .flv file using one of the default skins in CS3. The movie previews fine in FL and the html page created from FL previews fine.

However, when I place the swf into my formatted page it only previews the .flv but not the skin.

Is it possible that there is a CSS or other script conflict?

I will try to get it placed live, sometime, in order for you to look at it.

It's possible -- but do you really expect us to be able answer without knowing what it is that you've made so far?

No reason to be snarky.

Here is the error message that Firefox gives me on the page:

Error #2044: Unhandled skinError:. text=[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: SkinUnderPlaySeekCaption.swf"]

The skin file SkinUnderPlaySeekCaption.swf is in the same folder as the flv and swf file calling for it.

There is indeed reason to be snarky: many a new member has posted without enough information in their question. I posted that so many times that day.

Also, you say that firefox gives the error -- goes that mean that you are using flex or you have uploaded it to your server? If you have uploaded it to your server, have you made sure that file is actually uploaded and the capitalization of the filename is correct?

There isn't much more it can be than a simple mistake in the file structure, as far as I can tell. Perhaps you can show us the code you're using to load and your relevant filestructure.

Hope that helps a little :-/

I just use Firefox to view it locally.

It seems to me that it IS just a filestructure problem as well. I will keep up on it and post some code as soon as I can.

I re-published the file changing the load order to top down as opposed to bottom up. After doing so the swf worked fine locally and live.
