FLVPlayback skin modification problem in Adobe Flash CS5 with AS3

Question

Hi,

I have been working on modifying an existing FLVPlayback skin. Ideally I would like to have one that uses a counter.

The problem is, all the fla's provided for the skins with counters fail to publish/compile correctly. Fla's are here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Common\Configuration\FLVPlayback Skins\FLA\ActionScript 3.0

I do end up with a swf, but it doesnt' work when applied to my FLVPlayback instance on the stage. (All skin fla's beggining with 'Minima' do not work, even the skins without the counters)

I get the following warning when publishing: Warning: unable to load SWC FLVPlaybackAS2.swc

If I go to 'File -> Publish Settings -> Flash -> Settings', FLVPlaybackAS2.swc is not in my Library Path. So, I added it... (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Common\Configuration\Components\Video\FLVPlaybackAS2.swc) But I get the exact same warning.

It seems strange to me that it would throw a warning about FLVPlaybackAS2.swc... this is an AS3 fla provided by Adobe. I also tried adding FLVPlaybackAS2.swc, FLVPlaybackAS3.swc, FLVPlaybackAS3_2.5.swc etc, with no change.

Another developer here has tried also and come up with the same problem. We are both on PC's and have all Adobe updates.

Anyone have any ideas?!

Thanks, James.

Answer 1

I'm encountering the same problem! I tried everything to make it work, but no luck. I had another developer try to edit the skin in CS5 and CS4, but nothing worked.

I couldn't find any useful article about this issue on Google neither... Please help!

I am experiencing the same problem. Been working on it for days and now looks like it's safe to conclude that the skins are simply uneditable in CS5. This is a real disappointment. Has anyone tried changing the skins in CS3?
