Hey All,

When I embed a flash video (using just the .flv or in a .swf) in a regular html page, I can open the page up on my computer, (i have IIS installed and the site is running as the default website) and the movie plays. Problem is when I upload the movie+files and the page to the website that it belongs on, it does not play. (I dont have the links to the pages and information posted, because this is for a University page. I can go ahead and get them up if that is nessecary, but it will take me awhile and I am not back in here till monday.) Anyways I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get these darn things to show up? And if I was doing anything wrong?

- Thanks
