Good day,  
I’m having problems with the FLVPlayback not showing the control bar in FireFox3.

I’m connecting to a Akamai streaming server using the AkamaiNCManager. All this seems to work ok cause I can see the FLV.

The problem comes when using an adapted FLVPlayback skin. I have followed the following tech note:  
[http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=a102e3fe](http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=a102e3fe)

And added the following code to the skin  
System.security.allowDomain(\_parent.\_url);

And the corrosponding code to the main FLA:  
System.security.allowDomain(\<myFLVPlaybackskin.swf\>);

None of this works. I still get no control bar in FF3.

I think this is a cross domain issue, having said that both swf (main and playback skin are on the same server). Not sure if it’s connected to the Akamai streaming server.

Any advice on this would be a great help!!!
