I have set up a page with a flash video in the two different mode streaming and progressive download video. Neither one shows up when I view the page from the server. Anyone have tips for me or know what the problem is? Thanks.

    The Video is created with Flash Encoder CS3,
    What SWF are you referring to? T
    he server is Windows2003. I have local access to it.
    Yes all files are located on the same folder.

    again i know very little about this and i may be totally wrong, but are you trying to view the FLV file on the server through a browser? usually this is accomplished by Publishing an SWF (Shockwave) file which contains the necessary data to access and playback the FLV file in your browser. that SWF file will have a corresponding HTML file when you choose 'Publish' in Flash CS3.

    i don't know if this was any help at all -- but most of the time i think people choose to publish their flash projects to SWF/HTML files accessing the FLV video that will then progressively download.

    Ok I have put the FLV in Flash CS3 exported the swf and html file. All components in the same directory. The local playback is perfect. The server playback nothing happens.

    so i am not an expert by any means but i will try to help.
    what app did you use to create the flash video?

    assuming you are using Flash CS3 professional, and talking about the progressive download method, when you uploaded the files to your server did you make sure that the SWF file (assuming it is in embedded HTML) is in the same folder as the HTML file? and that the FLV file is indeed located where you specified when creating the project?

    What kind of OS does your server run? are you hosting the FLV file locally (on the same server) or elsewhere (such as on Amazon S3 or a CDN service)?

    Answers to these questions and a bit more details about your 'Publishing' settings and I might be able to help =)
