Hi,

I am trying to implement the MediaPlayback component. I have dragged an instance of it to the stage and named it. I have set the path to a relative .flv file on my local machine. I have set all the parameters according to the instructions.  
When I run my swf, I see the player component (no video plays) with the word “Player” on it. How do I get my flv video to run?
