[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]Hi there… [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]  
Its about this tutorial:  
[http://www.pixel2life.com/twodded/t\_progressive\_flash\_video\_player\_part\_1/page1/](http://www.pixel2life.com/twodded/t_progressive_flash_video_player_part_1/page1/)

I followed ALL the steps, carefully, over and over…  
And i CANT watch my movie!

Although, there is something interesting…  
When i change the address of the file to be played to this one:[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]ns.play(“[http://www.pixel2life.com/twodded/staff/tiago/flash\_vp/shortmovie.flv](http://www.pixel2life.com/twodded/staff/tiago/flash_vp/shortmovie.flv)”);[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]IT WORKS! [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]  
So, the code is correct, so i am left with 2 possibilities that might be the error:  
the enconding or the server.  
Do i need special setting to encode my movie (wmv) to flv?  
Do i need to set something on my server to watch the movie?

Thanks.  
Cheers.
