Hii
Could anyone please help me how to embed a module, say media module on a custom skin.
My skin has got a portion where I want to add some dynamic content in the form of putting/embeding a module there......
I tried googling it but I couldn't find a good source....
Thanks in Advance

You don't embed a module in a skin. You place a module on a page and you apply a skin to that page. The skin alone doesn't have any reference to a page.
Are you, perhaps, trying to put an image or a flash file in a skin?

Hi Joe,
Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
Yaaa I know a module is to be placed on a page and then we apply a skin to the page.
But I need to play a video on one of my skins. I want to do it using the media module and in media module I will give the path of the video file (wmv).
So Could you lemme know how to do that....
Even also could you please explain how to put flash video on a skin....I know how to put images on a skin but not video....
Thanks a lot once again.....

Take a look at the simple module code I posted
here
. The code in the ascx file shows how I embedded at flash object in an ascx file. The same approach should work in a skin file, if you're editing the ascx version.
