SWF Video controls gone

Roncham · 07-21-2009, 12:48 PM

The player menu/control shows up fine if the html page and video is in the same folder, but If the
videos are in a separate folder the movie plays fine, but there is no controls to pause - play -stop.

Here is the original code:

Code:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
width="400" height="300" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="video.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="video.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="400" height="300" name="mymovie" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>

I added the video paths (higlighted) to the code which creates the problem:

Code:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
width="400" height="300" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="/videos/video.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="/videos/video.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="400" height="300" name="mymovie" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>

What am I missing?
Thanks

Try making your URLs "absolute" - ie. http//www.domain.com/public_html/videos/video.swf

It's probably that your server doesn't know where to get the
video player controls from because your HTML is not perfect
and specific.
