Hi,

We are just starting out with FMS.

Was looking at this article from adobe website

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_player.html

Followed all the way, I can see the thumbnails but when the thumbnail is
clicked can't see the bigger movie. Why? All, I see is that progressbar
shows as if it streaming but nothing happens. I guess it has to do something
with paths but I am not sure what because I can see the thumbnails.

FMS is installed on a Windows 2003 Server.

Would appreciate if anyone could point out sites where there are any
tutorials for novices or any examples.

Thanks in advance.

Apurva

    It's likely becuase of the FLVPlayback component that's being used. I never use the prefab components, but my understanding is that the FLVPlayback requires a specific .asc file that gets added to the application directory on the server side. Unfortunately, it's not documented anywhere.

    Look in the following location on your machine and see if you can find this file (assuming you're running windows and you installed Flash to its default location):

    C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\Samples and Tutorials\Samples\Components\FLVPlayback\main.asc

    Add that file to your application directory (or add its content to your existing main.asc), and you should be good to go.
