I’ve been using flush videos and the FLV Action on some of my sites with 5.4.2 Pro and had no problems ( see http://www.melodymooresoprano.com or the reading page in http://www.thomaslisenbee.com). Trying to do the same in 5.5Pro I can’t find the controls placed under the movie box. In 5.4.2 I had an option to place it “under”. In 5.5 I have different options: Player: Custom Player, Over, Glossy or none Player File: none or select Action script: 2 or 3 Tried some options listed above and managed to place the control over the movie right in the middle so it is covered by controls while is plying. I am supposed to select a a player from a pre-defined list or select my own??? see below: “1. Choose FLV Player from the Actions toolbar pull-down or from the Insert menu, and draw an item on your page. 2. Open the Action palette from the Window menu if it isn’t already open. 3. Select your FLV file from the FLV File pull-down. 4. Choose the Actionscript level you want. If you want to take advantage of the fullscreen option in Flash, then leave the option on its default If you have a custom player you will need to choose the level that the player is using. Note: you will need to contact the author of the player for this information if it isn’t already available 5. Choose the player from a pre-defined list or select your own. Note: the Action only supports standalone FLV Playback skins - some downloadable skins will require the movie to be self-contained, hence edited and embedded manually 6. If you require transparency to be used (the default background is white) then check the Transparency option
I do not have a pre-defined list or my own player that I know of. Can anyone help me with this please???
You will need to use the old version of the Action FLV Player - ActionsForge until we can rectify the issue in the new version.

You can use skins that have been developed as FLV Playback Component skins (Adobe’s terminology). Unfortunately you can’t just use any old skin from the web, a lot of them will require you to generate your own project in Flash to develop the movie yourself with the player integrated.
