Flash - AC_FL_RunContent is not defined

Today I was having some troubles embedding my flash file in Dreamweaver. I have done this so many times never having a problem before. It would play just fine in Dreamweaver CS3 but as soon as I would open my browser to view it, it wouldn't play. I used Firebug which can be downloaded for firefox as an add on to help me troubleshoot the error. The error that was being generated was AC_FL_RunContent is not defined. Dreamweaver automatically creates a Scripts directory with a JS file inside called AC_RunActiveContent.js when you save your file with the embedded flash.

Skinning Flash CS3 Actionscript 3.0 Playback Component

Skinning Flash CS3 Actionscript 3.0 Playback Component

I was looking at the playback components in flash CS3 and I was starting to wonder how to customize my own player. Although the skins that are already created are nice I like to spice mine up a bit. When I am creating a new skin for the playback component I typically like to open an existing playback component built into flash CS3. If you browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\FLVPlayback Skins\ActionScript 3.0 you will find all the .fla documents. For this example I am going to open SkinUnderPlayStopSeekMuteVol.fla in flash CS3 professional.


Full Screen



The first thing I do once I have the file open is save it as a different file name. I am going to name mine nicolesnewskin.fla (Save it to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\FLVPlayback Skins\ActionScript 3.0 directory).

If you look in the layers you will notice a controls folder. In that folder is all of your control buttons like stop, seek etc...No need to modify any of the code here. I just use this as a reference for what areas I am editing by using the show/hide found above the upper left area of the timeline above the layers.
