Video not playing after applying skin.

I got the JW player and a flv movie... working.
I added the code to embed a skin to the player. I see the new skin, but the video is not working anymore. I keep pressing play and nothing... as soon as I'm removing the skin-code (from the html) the video is working...

basic stuff no php...

I'm trying a test here:
http://lesliefurlong.com/art/ndxz-studio/site/sample/test.html

The skin is not working, I can't figure out why.

Here's the code.

<div id="preview" class="preview">
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">Get the Adobe Flash Player to see this video.</a>
</div>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://lesliefurlong.com/art/video/swfobject.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var s1 = new SWFObject('http://lesliefurlong.com/art/video/player.swf', 'player', '320', '240', '9.0.124');
s1.addParam('allowfullscreen', 'true');
s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess', 'always');
s1.addVariable('file','http://lesliefurlong.com/art/video/interference.flv&autostart=true');
s1.addVariable('skin', 'http://lesliefurlong.com/art/video/modieus.swf');
s1.write('preview');
</script>

Thanks for any help!

So, I'm back again - I see I'm not alone into this and nobody from their support is seems to help us... anyway they want to sell that glitch product with great issues for money... hilarious.

Hey LongTailVideo are you reading this ?!?

@juliana_mae,

Seems that there is no modieus skin file here:http://lesliefurlong.com/art/video/modieus.swf

@lefTy

Thanks for taking a look.
According to cyberduck modieus.swf is in the video folder. Is there another file that should be there also?

As a test, I tried using the identical source code from the example on longtailvideo.com:

http://lesliefurlong.com/art/ndxz-studio/site/sample/test.html

It works until I get to the step where I change the path to where I have uploaded the skin. At first glance, it seems like lefTy says, that the modieus.swf file must not be there. But it is there!

<div class="skinpreview"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://lesliefurlong.com/art/video/swfobject.js"></script>
<div name="mediaspace" id="mediaspace">

<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('http://lesliefurlong.com/art/video/player.swf','single','320','240','0');
so.addVariable('fullscreen','true');
so.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
so.addParam("wmode","opaque");
so.addVariable("file", "http://lesliefurlong.com/art/video/interference.flv&autostart=true");

so.addVariable("skin", "http://www.longtailvideo.com/files/skins/modieus.swf");
so.write('mediaspace');
</script></div></div>

FYI for all others with this problem:

I figured it out - you have to change the permissions on your skin.swf file.

How do you do that?

What settings do you need to change?

Ok went back through some of the posts and tried changing my code and it worked finally at 5am in the morning!!

This was the code I had:

<script type='text/javascript' src='swfobject.js'></script>

<div id='mediaspace'>This div will be replaced</div>

<script type='text/javascript'>
var s1 = new SWFObject('player-viral.swf','ply','470','260','9','#');
s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
s1.addParam('wmode','opaque');
s1.addParam('flashvars','file=video.flv');
s1.addParam('flashvars','skin=bekle.swf');

s1.write('mediaspace');
</script>

I just changed the last two addParam lines to these:

s1.addVariable('skin', 'bekle.swf');
s1.addVariable('file', 'video.flv');

That worked for me although I dont have a website it was just getting these working locally so Im not sure if this will help people who having this problem on their websites but Im tired now and gnna sleep!
