Hi,

I have a small flash project where there’s a FLVPlayback component that is linked to a FLV video file.

If I double click on the published SWF file (thus opening it with the FlashPlayer 10 executable), the video plays correctly. Nonetheless, if I double click on the published HTML file, there isn’t any video played at all.

This doesn’t happen if I put the files on a webserver, the video plays correctly on the browser.

I checked the “source” property of the component, which doesn’t have any absolut path (the video file resides on the same folder as the FLA/SWF folder, so the “source” property only has the FLV filename).

What could be the problem here?

Best regards.
