I would like to request the addition of a player path place holder for Custom FlashVars. The problem I came across was that in implementing a player skin, I placed the skin in the same directory as the player, but I had to put the entire URL of the skin in the Custom FlashVars box. If I need to move the site, this will be broken, so it would be great to be able to do: skin=@playerpath/file.swf

The addition of this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Since the module already provides the ability to input custom Flash variables (as you mentioned) and most users do not make use of a skin, I think we'll leave this out. I'd also rather not add an additional interface option if we can avoid it. There are already a lot of configuration options for users to sort through.

Thanks for the response.

What would be the recommended way of doing this so that I can move the site and not have a broken link?

I'm not sure what you mean by moving the site. If you do a standard database dump and restore, all of your configuration settings and configurations would be moved automatically.
