Hi,

I am creating a swf that sits in an HTML file.  
The swf loads a series of flvs.  
It has to work locally in Explorer.  
Explorer loads the swf file but does not load the flvs.  
If i run the swf file in flashplayer, i.e not in a browser, it finds the flvs.  
It works when online, but not locally.

Any ideas?
