Ugh! I seem can’t get the video skin to show up to skin FLVPlayBack component (even made sure video skin swf is in same folder as this file is). What am I missing?

```auto

import mx.video.*;

// connection
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

var ns :NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
myVid.attachVideo (ns);

// skin FLVPlayBack compenent
myVid.skin = "SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf";
myVid.clear();
myVid.contentPath = ns;

// play intial video
ns.play ("flv/video1.flv");

// event handlers
video1thb.onPress = function() {
	ns.play ("flv/video1.flv");
}

video2thb.onPress = function() {
	ns.play ("flv/video2.flv");
}

video3thb.onPress = function() {
	ns.play ("flv/video3.flv");
}

```

Appreciate any help,
