Here is my question:

I have design my flash website ([www.indypendencyfilms.com](http://www.indypendencyfilms.com)) with Flash and I want to add some videos to my

portfolio section. I thought it would be pretty straight forward, but it isn’t. That’s what I’ve done so far (and

it isn’t working):

1. Obviously encoded the video as a flv file (called Demo.flv).

2. Uploaded it to my server (Hostmonster). It is in my public\_html folder.

3. Added to my flash file a FLVPlayback component (instance name: videoPlayer)

4. Added the following actionscript:

5. After trying to stream it and not get it to work, I added in the MIME settings of my CPanel the video/x-

generic for the flv files.

At this point I have no idea why it doesn’t work and I’m conviced it’s something really stupid that I’m

overseeing. I would appreciate any input.

Thanks
