how can i assign a FLV file to a Flash Video object when i am opening the webpage from another FLV file aware webpage.

i want to upload my flash videos to my website and update a table with a description and the FLV file name. then i allow a surfer to view a recordset multirecord list of all the videos. when the surfer clicks on a record he istaken to a single record webpage with a Flash Video object and its description. when i open the properties of the Flash video and select Datasource rather than File system and set the php code to pass the file name DW tells me its not a valid Flash file. "Please select a file with an .flv extension."

<?php echo $row_rsSingleRec['filename']; ?>

i am storing the name of the FLV file in a table and passing it as a variable to this form.

the whole purpose of a dynamic webpage is to avoid creating a new static page for every new record in a database table.
how can i use the power of dynamic webpages?

suggestions ?
