I have used the FLV component in Flash and am having some problems with it working in FF.

It does not play when the direct URL is:  
[http://www.somesite.com](http://www.somesite.com)

However, it does work when the direct URL is:  
[http://somesite.com](http://somesite.com)

Does anyone know why this is?

Here is my code for the FLV/SWF:

```auto

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','width','600','height','442','title','FlashRes Demo','src','FlashRes_Demo','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','FlashRes_Demo' ); //end AC code
</script>
