I have been trying for the past two days to resolve my issue. After reading through all the posts decided to ask for your assistance.

I have purchased the licensed version of the player. Have download the appropriate player from the licensed link. Unzipped the contents of the folder.

According to the instructions I am supposed to upload player.swf and swfobject.js to my webhosting provider- this is with bluehost. Please note my player.swf is named player-licesed-viral.swf.

Q#1= When I opened my folder it contain several items. I am ONLY to upload the two files listed in the above paragraph?

I am currently using a program purchased through codejam.com to make my video slide show. This file is a .flv file. I add this file to my webhosting provider in the same folder as the player.swf and swfobject.js files. I have added a preview image as well. The grungetape.swf skin has added to the folder as well.

I use the JW setup wizard and make all my selections. The wizard will not show my slide. However it works beautifully without the skin. So I choose the embed coding copy it and go to my Yahoo web hosting to insert the html code. All I see on my live site is a lite blue empty box. Foxfire and IE7.

In one of the posts it mentioned that I needed to change the player.swf to player-licensed-viral.swf. So I did and tried the wizard. Nothing. I copied the code the wizard gave thinking JW uses the standard logo player. Still nothing.

So this time I just renamed my player-licensed-viral.swf to player.swf. Still just the blue screen.

Q#2 The setup wizard is it for the licensed player as well?

Now the license I purchased was for one website. I gave JW at time of purchase my dot com as my site. After thinking through my steps, I decided to use it on my dot net site. With all my problems, I thought to delete the player from the dot net and put on dot com. Thinking the player should be used on the same site as the page I wish to place the shows on. This time I used the (oh I forgot the choice but its the default code) wizard makes. Still nothing.

So for now I have removed the player from dot com and put it back onto dot net.

Any ideas? I would really like to use this player.

The best way to get really useful, effective help, is to post a link to your Test Page. Then an experienced user can look at your code and tell you what needs changing to get it working.

For a basic setup, you should use full URIs to all of your files. Later, once it's working, you can experiment with relative paths.

Required files:
http://www.domain.com/path/player.swf (or a variation)
http://www.domain.com/path/swfobject.js (if you are using swfobject)
http://www.domain.com/path/filename.flv
http://www.domain.com/path/image.jpg
http://www.domain.com/path/yt.swf (if you are using the YouTube proxy)

I am not using the YouTube proxy.

The other four files are hosted at blue host.
The site I am trying to embed to is Yahoo.

The above link is the page I am trying to set up.

Thank you.

UPDATE:

lost- thank you. I looked at your post. I again looked at your post. After several times comparing your list to my html code. I had to change the wizard player.swf on the very first line to http://www.myweb.com/path/player.swf

Thank you- it's now playing on my site!

I am still having one issue however. On the wizard on the line for the skin I used http://www.myweb.com/path/grungetape.swf

It will not play- it will for the demo/wizard site but not for mine. What am I missing?

Thanks again.
