value skin
parameter in the Component inspector. Then click the magnifying glass icon to open the
following Select Skin dialog box, in which you can select a skin or provide a URL that

folder or in the user's local Configuration/Skins folder. You can make new skins available to
this dialog box by creating them and placing the SWF file in the Skins folder. The name

skin set, see "Creating a new skin" on page 532.
If you want to skin the FLVPlayback component using the FLV Playback Custom UI
components, select None from the pop-up menu.
Skinning FLV Playback Custom UI components
individually
The FLV Playback Custom UI components allow you to customize the appearance of the
FLVPlayback controls within your FLA file and allow you to see the results when you preview
your web page. These components are not designed to be scaled, however. You should edit a
movie clip and its contents to be a specific size. For this reason, it is generally best to have the
FLVPlayback component on the Stage at the desired size, with the and
autoSize
properties set to .
maintainAspectRatio false
