Urgent help needed!!  
I am trying to place a video (flv) file into flash. I have followed all instructions from macromedia yet when i publish, i see a white box with the word ‘player’ in it??  
But, if I use publish one of macromedias templates that has an flv in it, it works fine.

anyone have any idea?
