   Hi Guys

   I am new to MSS and have been having a few issues when trying to incorporate a video and images in the same show.

   I have included my .xml code below.

   I have created two seperate albums and placed the video in the first album and images in the second. I did this so that I could have a seperate set of config files for each album, but not sure that this is correct and may be causing the issues.

   In this case the video runs for 28secs and is called sg2009.swf.

   The code below IS working and the video plays followed by the images, however whilst the video is playing, the controller does not show the scrubBar and therefore the user has no control over the video. I gather that this is because the way the video has been tagged in the contents - (ie image source="sg2009.swf".

   If I change the source from an image to a video (ie image source="sg2009.swf" to video source="sg2009.swf") the scrubBar does appears but the video does not play and the viewport shows the question mark.

   My questions are:-

   1. Have I setup the .xml correctly by creating two seperate albums?
   2. How can I get the controller to show the scrubBar AND play the video?

   If anybody is able to assist me it would be much appreciated.

   Thanks - Matt

   Do you have a sample link? Also could you show us what code you are using when you put the .swf as a video?

   Guys I think I have fixed it...... thanks to a previous thread on videos.

   What I did:-

   Created an .flv file of the video and changed the source to read: video source="sg2009.flv" instead of image source="sg2009.swf"

   Now when the video plays, the controller appears with the scrubBar giving the user total control over the video.

   Oh - thank goodness for a good forum - thanks again.
