Has anyone had any luck movking the playlist to a different location?

I am trying to setup my videos so that the playlist appears next to the video, not on top of it.
I was told by CoffeeCup support that I need to edit the XML file to change the coordinates of the playlist and move it to a new location.

So I edited the XML file to change the location of the playlist - but it still isn't moving over to the right side and the size didn't change either.

Here's how I edited it:
<tree
x="359"
y="6"
w="258"
h="258"
visible="t"
>

I changed the "x" coordinate to 359.

I also expanded the width of the videobox to make room for the playlist being on the right side:
<videobox
x="0"
y="0"
w="625"
h="289"
...

However, the playlist still shows up with its x coordinate at the far left -- and its width takes up the whole screen. No matter what values I use for the x coordinate and the w width, the playlist always show up full size, centered on top of the video. Kelly Ward

Hi Kelly,
which skin are you using? I will see if I can accomplish this as well and will post it if I can. :) "It's A Smart Person That Asks"

Thank you for taking a look at this! You can use any skin. I've tried several of them and changing the width and location parameters in the XML file does not seem to make any difference in any of them. Unless I'm missing something, It seems as if the flash file is not using the width or location values from the XML file... it is just putting the playlist in the center of the video at almost full width.

The key is you have to 100% make a new skin for your player. All of those controls are one large image and you cannot move any individual piece of the controls around. Once you design a new skin, then you will x/y map the individual images.

I'm not trying to change any of the IMAGES. It's the playlist itself that I want to move and resize, which I believe is the "tree" in the XML file. Kelly Ward

You can move the button but not re-size it and the play list button will always remain in the same location unless you make a new skin. The play list also will always have a fixed height and width and will appear at the bottom and pop open upward. ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

I'm OK with the playlist button staying where it's at. But how do i move the PLAYLIST itself? When I edit the x/y values in the XML file, it doesn't change where the playlist pops up. It is always centered full width over the video/skin.

This is what I'm editing in the XML file -- and no matter what value I use for x, y, and w... the location and the size of the playlist don't ever change when I view it.

<tree
x="359"
y="6"
w="258"
h="258"
visible="t"
>

Yes, that would be correct. The size of the play list cannot be changed. ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
