My movie simply contains an FLVPlayback component. I have the HTML file embedding my movie in a different directory from the movie itself. My directory structure looks like this:
/flash_test.html
/scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
/media/posimain-qt-320x240-low.swf
/media/posimain-qt-320x240-low.flv
/media/SkinUnderPlaySeekMute.swf
And the embedding code in flash_test.html looks like this:
<script src="/scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" language="javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js.");
} else {
AC_FL_RunContent(

); //end AC code
}
</script>

When I test out this page, the movie runs (meaning the FLV file is being found in the same directory as the SWF), but the FLVPlayback skin cannot be found (even though SkinUnderPlaySeekMute.swf is, in fact, in the same directory as the SWF). The error:
Error #2044: Unhandled skinError:. text=[IOErrorEvent type=“ioError” bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text=“Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: SkinUnderPlaySeekMute.swf”]
If I put flash_test.html in the /media directory along with all the Flash files, the skin is found properly.
Since it’s posimain-qt-320x240-low.swf that is importing SkinUnderPlaySeekMute.swf, why can’t it find it just because the embedding HTML file is in a different directory? (Especially since posimain-qt-320x240-low.flv is successfully found). How can I get this to work properly without storing the HTML file in the same directory as the Flash files?
