Question

Video controls dissappear when swf is put on web

I've got a simple SWF file that points to an flv on our website. When I test the file on my machine it plays fine, with the controls underneath. When I upload the swf to our website and play it from there the controls disappear.

I've even tried publishing an html page that only has the SWF file on it and uploading that. Again, it plays fine when I open the html file from my machine, but as soon as it's on the website and I navigate to it, no controls. The video plays fine, but I would really like the controls to be there.

Nevermind. I figured out what the problem was myself. Apparently when you use one of the default video control skins it makes a second .swf file that contains the controls, which has to be in the same directory or you can point to a URL where it's located.
