OK, I’m trying to play an external .flv in a .swf and embed in a webpage. I feel like I’m doing everything correctly and everytime I create it, it works offline. When I upload all the files online, nothing shows up. When I right click on the live webpage where the file should be playing it sees the swf, it’s just playing and/or displaying anything.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
