I need help with my custom video player...!

[jaysparks]

I deeply apologize for my ignorance in regards to Flash, saying that there is an issue that I'm having and that is, when I bring a embedded video component on to my stage, weather it's a video 8 player or display,for some reason or another, when I go to 'test' my movie, the video isn't showing up. I have pointed to the path and url and I have placed the fla in the same path as the flv, but I get nothing.... Can someone PLEASE give me some guidance and/or direction. WHAT I'm ultimately attempting to do is create somewhat of a video player sort of like the one that's on the front (home) page of ADOBE's webiste. You know, were it reads 6 of 6, meaning the 6th video of video total video and once you click it, that video is played in the player or window.....Thanks so much for the info and knowledge.....

p.s. Also, I need to know if there is a component out there that I can download and pull up in flash in regards to the scrollbars...? I want to add scrollbars to certain areas of the page that contains a lot of text.... The scrollbar that I'm interested in are the modern pill shape ones with the aqua color sort of like the ones ADOBE uses......Text

Hey Oldnewbie,

Thanks for the reply. Those were the first source that I went to. They're VERY good too however, the problem that I keep getting is that when I put the mc instance of the embebbed video onto the stage and test my movie, I see no movie and as a matter of fact, I see no evidence of anything in that space. Now, when I create a NEW fla file and do it, I have no problem seeing the movie or instance... but the problem is I NEED the instance working in the fla that I have create esp for it and it has about 20 different layers... So, again, I got those video under my belt with the correct actionscript but I don't see the video when I TEST the movie.....
