Hi,  
I’m having a few problems with my swf communicating with my flv. If anyone has suggestions that would be great.  
I have the following actionscript in my flv:

var flvSource:String = src\_flv;

video.contentPath = flvSource;  
video.skin = skinSource;

And here is the code within my html page. I have uploaded the flv to a CMS so have to use a query to get its location etc (String src\_flv), and this is where problem is occuring. As when I just FTP flv to server and point to it, there is no problem.

String src\_flv = “[http://servername/servlet/BlobServer?blobkey=id](http://servername/servlet/BlobServer?blobkey=id)” +  
“&blobwhere=” + videoID +  
“&blobcol=url\_flv&blobtable=Video&blobheader=video/x-flv”;

String src\_swf = “[http://servername/servlet/BlobServer?blobkey=id](http://servername/servlet/BlobServer?blobkey=id)” +  
“&blobwhere=” + videoID +  
“&blobcol=url\_swf&blobtable=Video”;
