Actionscript-Controled FLV Video - Skins?

Question

Hello All!

I've been working with FMS and Flash 8 Professional to cope
with streaming video. I haven't had any luck getting the
FLVPlayback component to work, but I've had much success with the
Video (ActionScript-Controlled) coding.

Is there anyway, through AS, to add on a skin such as the
SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf that will be compatible with the
AS-Controlled Video? I've tried doing MyVideo.Skin = "{filepath}";
but with no success.

My problems with the FLVPlayback are odd. When I change the
contentPath for the FLVPlayback component, I get that wonderful
"failed to load flv" message. HOWEVER, I am able to see that Flash
does connect to the FMS to get the FLV info. Just nothing happens
after that. Yet the video does stream the AS way.

I need these files streamed as they are file size intensive,
and I don't want to do any progressive downloads.

So rather than beat my head against the desk, I'd rather just
try to find a nice ActionScript solution to what is already working
for me.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Did you upload the required main.asc file to FMS? FLV Playback needs that. Search the Flash 8 help docs for main.asc and you'll find the file. Upload it to your FMS app, restart the app and try again.
