    When published in a browser you need to adjust your Flash Player's security settings and allow outbound connections for files being in the directory where your swf file is. Remember: The html and the swf are served from the local file system (C:\path\to\swf) and the swf then tries to connect to your fms machine: (rtmp://yourserver/app). You should actually have seen an error message when you first tried.

    Alternatively you could put your SWF onto a web server (like your users would)

    Have you checked out the FMS Devcenter? There are quite a lot of tutorials out there:
