I imported a video as progressive download in a flash file called sa-address.fla.
The flash video file is sa-address.flv.
I published the file it was playing.
Next step I moved it to my server.(the flv and the swf).
When I open the html page the flv movie is not loaded.
It shows the number of bytes loaded as 0.
Any idea what mistake I could have done.

perhaps its about capital letters and small letters (forgot the right name for that)
servers are often very casesentive. check everywhere after capital letters, and have all letters small in filenames etc.

I am using small letters for filename.I have mentioned the contentPath properly.
It works locally.
I even did another test.
when I give the contentPath as,
myflv.contentPath = “[http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv](http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv)”;
it plays.
but when I give the contentPath as,
myflv.contentPath="[COLOR=#810081][http://gateway.radixlearning.com/radixmicrosite/[/COLOR][U][COLOR=#22229c]ss-address.flv](http://gateway.radixlearning.com/radixmicrosite/ss-address.flv)";[/COLOR][/U]
[COLOR=#22229c]it doesnt play.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#22229c]it says not able to load.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#22229c][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#22229c]When I give the path as just ss-address.flv also it doesnt load.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#22229c]I thought the problem is with the flv.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#22229c]So I loaded another flv.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#22229c]even that didnt work.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#22229c]And I dont think the problem is due to file permissions.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#22229c]As the html page is able to access the swf -\> ss-address.swf[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#22229c]but the ss-address.swf is not able to load any flv from the server.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#22229c]The html page,the swf file and the flv file all remain in the same folder.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#22229c]but ss-address.swf is able to play other flv’s from other servers such as,[/COLOR]
[U][[COLOR=#0000ff]http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv[/COLOR]](http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv)[/U]
It is not able to play from the same location.

Hi,
seems the URL for FLV path is not working, the URL is wrong, I suppose.
I tried your path and made a sample file, and got Stream not Found as a info code when using with NetStream object.
The code is
```php
System.security.allowDomain("http://gateway.radixlearning.com/radixmicrosite");
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
vid.attachVideo(ns);
ns.onStatus = function(info:Object) {
trace(info.code);
};
ns.play("http://gateway.radixlearning.com/radixmicrosite/ss-address.flv");
```
and I got info object as : [COLOR=Red]NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound
[COLOR=Black]This means FLV file is not available at the specified location, so double check your path…
Thanks
pandu 🙂

It is there.
It is available.
But as you said I am not able to access that file.
It is present in the server.But I dont know what the problem could be.
The flv file is definitely present there.
Is there any other thing that could be wrong.
the path is definitely correct.

Can it be because flash player is not present in the server
