Controls not showing in FLVplayback FLV Playback
A very quick post today but this might be helpful to fellow Flash’rs.
I couldn’t get the controls of FLVPlayback to show when uploaded on a live server.
After an hour or so of looking for the solution, i worked it out.
The skin / controls are published in its own .swf, that is quite straight forward.
What you need to do however, is place the MojaveExternallAll.swf ( in my case, but can be any skin ) in the same directory as the file producing the swf code. This was showreel.php found in the root directory. By simply moving your skin file in there ( the root directory), will solve the problem and the FLVPlayback controls will now show. This is because of the way SWF Object works. There is a method that you can edit the component file, but for the sake of one tiny .swf file in the wrong directory, i dont think its worth the hassle. I hope this is helpful, if anyone is having the same problem.

Not always the case. My controls aren’t showing but the .html file and the video swf, as well as the skin swf, are all in the same folder/directory, all uploaded, but won’t show online.
