Hi there,
I'm making a video player using flv playback, and I have customised the graphics in one of the video control skins that ships with flash, which works fine. However, one of the things I need to provide is the ability to change one or two properties of the controls, e.g the colour of the little icon movie clip inside the button. I know I can take in a hex value of whatever from an xml, and I know how to code it to change the colour of a clip, what I'm not sure of is how to implement it, i.e, should I take my value into my main movie, then somehow pass it to the control swf, or should I try to load it into the control swf directly, and if I do, could it break the controls..?
Any advice appreciated,
Thanks
