Hi Abraham or whomever knows the answer!
I'm wracking my brain to figure out why the swf I've inserted in Dreamweaver CS3 html page doesn't show the play skin! Here are the steps and the site...
1. Imported .mov into Flash CS3, chose skin, set autoplay to false
2. Published movie to directory "salmon" -- everything is there (skin, fla, flv, html, .js, tossed in Scripts folder in "salmon" just in case)
3. Copied all "salmon" files to subdirectory "salmon" in website root
3. In dreamweaver CS3, insert>media>flash>salmon.swf
4. Unchecked autoplay and loop
5. Preview in browser = no play controls, so I can't play movie (BTW, if I had set autoplay=true in Flash, the movie plays automatically, but again, no play skin)
6. Double checking, the skin file and everything else is present on my server in the proper folder
7. swf movie plays in Flash, Flash Player and html that Flash generated AND shows player skin
What I want is for the visitors to play the movie by using the play controls.
The following page shows two movies without play controls (see right sidebar for most obvious example)
http://www.wildsoundstories.com/hero.htm. Again, the movies play fine if I select autoplay=yes in Flash, but still no controls.
I'm at my wit's end on this one. Should be soooo simple, right? 7 hours and I'm fried. What's up?

I'm not a coder, but here is the code relating to the movie in the sidebar:
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','200','height','190','title','biodiversity movie','src','movies/salmon/salmon','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','movies/salmon/salmon' ); //end AC code
Thanks for any help!
Gina
