Flash player downloads movie locally like dead fish on remote
I am trying to load a flash player into a html page. The page is hosted in my root folder. Flv and swf are in a folder called "video".
The user forum located on the website that created the Flash component suggested this ... make sure the path points to a folder. Do I understand correctly. But I'm not sure where to find the path. Below is the code for the player in my html page.
I don't see a way here? Should I be looking directly at the fla file? How to edit fla. search in the right folder?
<script type="text/javascript">

Your embed Flash code looks great - you have "videos / flvPlayer.swf" in both places where it should be. At this point, I expected your flash node file to download correctly, but the video you are trying to download is not working. To fix this, you either need to edit the .FLA file directly to find the path and filenaname that a big tool called Fiddler is trying to download or load and run the page in IE ... you should be able to see web requests going back and forth between browser and server - you should get a 404 flash download response that will show you where it is trying to download the video.
You might want someone to improve the flvPlayer.swf file to take the movie path / name as a PARAM so that it can be easily customized in HTML.
