I have a simple video player (built in Flash using the default Adobe video component and controls). When I upload the player to my server and navigate directly to the swf file the video plays fine and all controlls work. When I drop that video player into my main site (I’m loading it into a html formatted textfield) the controls don’t work. Is this a crossdomain policy issue?

If it’s of any help, the video itself plays fine if I set up my video player swf to auto-start but the controls are still un-responsive.

Why would you load it into an html formated textfield!!use a Loader and add it to a Sprite or a movie clip
