Friends,  
I have a swf that loads a file.flv as a http delivered progressive download ( uptil now I have always embedded video into the swf )  
I have uplaoded my file.swf and I uploaded the file.flv ( as well as the play gadget -ExternalPlaySeekMute.swf )  
I have all these together in a dir dog\_swf.  
so in Dir Dog I have a page of html that looks into dog\_swf and opens my main movie (BigDog.swf )fine  
Except that the FLV ( hound.flv ) nor his player loads ( location = dog\_swf )  
I know I have to alter the path with the componet inspector ( Alt F7) - But I must have it wrong.  
I have tried Content path “/dog\_swf/hound.flv”  
so what do I make the content path so that It will load the flv?  
dir structure  
page of html is in Dog 001.htm  
that has a swf that plays fine that swf is located in dir = dog\_swf  
but there is an FLV ( hound.flv & the play gadget ExternalPlaySeekMute.swf ) that never show  
they are also in the dir = dog\_swf  
have tried : /dog\_swf/hound.flv

Thanks!
