Hey Good People,

  I have been scratching my head trying to figure out why this Flash video doesn't play.  I checked to make sure it is in the correct format. I've tried FLV and H.264 neither of which plays.  The custom play button appears and the alpha goes to 0 when clicked but the video doesn't play.  It works in the flash environment and on my desktop when I dropped it into an html shell.  Can anyone tell me what I need to do to make this work?

You should use Flash debug version. When you do, you will se a security error:

SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file http://clienttestsite.x10.mx/beta/swfs/managers.swf cannot access local resource C:\Users\Demetrius McClain\Desktop\Value Insight\chevrolet\video.f4v. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.

    at fl.video::VideoPlayer/load()
    at fl.video::FLVPlayback/doContentPathConnect()

Obviously, you hardcoded video path to your local machine. Change that.
