Hello, I am trying to get a flash video to play in the sidebar of my wordpress blog. No problem there, I just pasted the embed code from Flash into a text widget for the sidebar. It works on home, but when you get onto another blog page within the site, the video’s skin disappears. I read somewhere that it’s because the skin file needs to reside in the same directory as the “index.html” file. Well, obviously wordpress, because of permalinks, dynamically creates virtual directories that don’t exist. therefore the skin file can’t just be duplicated into a directory that is not there… How can I solve this problem?

Thanks!
