FLVPlayback skin SWF must be in same directory as HTML file
Issue
When a Macromedia Flash Player Movie (SWF) is loaded withloadMovie or loadMovieNum from a relative path, and that SWF contains an instance of the Flash 8 FLVPlayback component, the component can fail if it cannot find the skin SWF.
Reason
It is common practice in Flash 8 to place the skin SWF for the FLVPlayback component in the same server directory as the SWF containing the component (or in a subdirectory of that directory).
However, in a loading scenario, the skin SWF for the FLVPlayback component must be relative to the loading HTML file containing the parent SWF on the server, not to the location of the loaded SWF. If it's not, the FLVPlayback component will not display.

Solution
Placing the skin SWF in the same folder as the loading HTML file on the server will resolve the issue. The SWF can also be in a subfolder of the loading HTML file, provided the FLVPlayback component is provided with the path to that subfolder in the Flash authoring FLA.
