Hi,  
I am trying to build a customized controller for my flv player with the flvPlayback components. For some reason, I can’t get the SeekBar and the VolumeBar to behave properly together. They work fine when either is alone on the controller, but when they are both present, the seekBar handle doesn’t drag when it is supposed to. Sometimes, a yellow rectangle flashes around the OTHER handle (on the volume bar) instead. Can anyone hlep me fix this please?

Thanks!

Neil.

I had the same problem in both Flash 8 and CS3 FLV playback - seekBar and volumeBar clash. There is a patch available on adobe’s site (flvplayback\_1\_0\_1) for flash 8 which works fine, but as far as I can tell it doesn’t work for CS3. The workaround solution mentioned in the patch notes is to put either component (seekBar or the volumeBar) inside a containing movieclip, since the problem only occurs if they are both on the same timeline. Worked straight away for me.
