In FMS3 the main file is in .far format in the vod directory. In the samples directory it is .asc. What am I supposed to do with it?

    Nothing. The .far file is merely an obfuscated .asc file (I suspect Adobe did that to protect non-programmers from themselves). If you want to see the actual code, look in the VOD application in the /samples directory. The main.asc file in there is the un-obfuscated version of the same code.

    Ok, then thats not my problem. Do you happen to know why I get this message when running a test movie in as?
    "Error creating Flash movie file. I'm using a fms3 server with videos from an exercise (flv) in the vod/media folder. I have Adobe CS3 running on another system that I use to edit video etc. I changed the path to point to my vod directory. It does the same error message when I try to use the flvplayback component. I have run connect.success on simple test ActionScript files but this is the first that I try to test the video.
