Hey Guys,

BIG BIG BIG problem on my hands here… I have an FLV player that I pass a bunch of data into from an XML file. One of these things is the skin for the progress bar, volume bar, play/pause buttons, etc… I’m hopeful you know what I mean.

ANYWAYS, when I load the .swf in as “skin.swf” it’s fine, but if it’s “[http://www.domain.com/dir1/dir2/skin.swf](http://www.domain.com/dir1/dir2/skin.swf)” the whole app messes up…

I can’t get an error to trace, but the .swf just sits there at 0,0 of my app… where when I just use the .swf the buttons go to the spot I tell them to go…

Any ideas?

\*\*EDIT: \*\*I should mention that when I run it in the IDE, no matter what, either the URL or direct, it works…
