Hi Aran -
After a long detour dealing with other issues, I am finally getting back
to addressing this problem again.
Using the method you suggest I wrote the following code:
var theSkin : String="SkinUnderAllNoVolNoCaptionNoFull.swf?r=" + getTimer();
cardPlayback.skin = theSkin;
where "cardPlayback" is the FLVPlayback component.
When I test the movie I keep getting a "URL not found" error. If I
dispense with the tail end of that line, everything works fine:
var theSkin : String="SkinUnderAllNoVolNoCaptionNoFull.swf";
So it appears as if tacking on the random number at the end of the URL is
getting in the way of finding the skin.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help.
Best Regards,
- Tim

So instead of specifying the skin in the FLVplayback component parameters,
you should be able to set the skin via actionscript (as with all other
params)
You when you specify the location of the skin, tack on a random number on
the end like :
var skinloc : String = "someskin.swf?r="+new Date.getTime();
// this gives a millisecond accurate unique number

Hi Aran -
Thanks for the suggestion. Since the problem apprears to occur only
on the PC that seems like a reasonable explanation. Occasionally it happens
even when the browser cache is empty. But I'd like to try your suggestion;
I'm just not sure how to implement it since the skin is specified in the
FLVPlayback component in the .swf.
Cheerio!

It is most likely a caching issue. You can try tacking on a random
number on
the end of the skin load location so that the browser always requests a
fresh copy of the skin file.
Other than that, I can't really offer anything to an issue which is not
easily reproducible.
Cheers,
Aran

An erratic problem occurs occasionally on our web site
www.sendablessing.com
. Sometimes when the swfobject loads the skin is missing and the
video is displaced downward. It doesn't happen often but is annoying
when it does. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? If the
page loads fine the first time I can usually create the problem by
repeatedly reloading the page.
