Having an issue with using a custom Flash skin on a Coldfusion page

Hello.  I'm running into a strange issue when I'm trying to embed a flash video with player skin on a ColdFusion page.  Using Dreamweaver CS3, I added the video the page.

When I load the cfm page, the video plays, but the custom Flash skin does not show up.  Now, this page uses a lot of includes for things like the header, footer, menu, etc.  The cfm file with the actual content itself is also an included page.  When the load the cfm file with the flash player by itself OUTSIDE of the regular page structure, the skin works fine.  Its only when I load it within the regular framework of the page that I run into this problem with the custom skin.

The flash video itself was encoded in Flash Video Encoder CS3 and I'm currently using CF 8.

I hope that makes sense and someone can provide me with a possible solution.  Thanks!

    Likely you have already figured it out by now and this is just a guess.

    I suspect that if the flash skin is linking to it's embedded assets (not embedded) or is using css (same difference) then the flash player is not able to access the assets from the context of the page in which it is being included.  Check for problems with the way that the paths were defined to those assets.
