Hey.

I made a custom video player. and i want to import that to my main site. When i run the animation from the original file the video plays perfectly. But when i play the main site. only  
the play button and volume slider apears, no video.

Is there some kind of modification to the the code that might be missing that i need to add when importing swf innto a container? Im still very new to AS3. (my head still stuck in AS2)

Used this tutorial to import the swf file:
