Hi there, trying to get an flv file to load dynamically in Flash 8. The player component shows in the fla file, the contentPath has the right name of the flv file, but when I publish, the screen remains blank. That is - the background colour shows, but neither flv file or player skin are showing. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong…?
