I need to get access to the buttons inside an flvplayback skin. After a bit of googling I’ve come across several solutions for AS2 but it doesn’t seem to function in a similar way. I know skin\_mc is a private function of the flvplayer but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to access it as an object that retains its properties all I get back is a string with the path to the skin swf.

The second code block [url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video\_captionate\_05.html]here[/here] would appear to do what I want but I can’t seem to modify that into something that plays well with the AS3 component.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
