I have a problem with my mediaPlayback component. It isn’t loading the external .flv file on my pc. I’m trying to test it locally before I can put it up on the web.
Right now, it will not play, the player doesn’t even seem to be functioning properly. It will just display the word “player” and that’s it. It won’t do anything at all.
When I create a new fla and just place the mediaplayback component on the stage by itself, it’ll load up the video no problem. But I can’t understand why it’ll load in the new swf, but not in my current one! It’s placed on the stage, on a stopped frame! What’s going on!?
Here’s the text from the debug menu when I open up the Objects List:

Note the _deadPreview after mediaPlayer? What does this mean? How do I stop this?
