Friends,

I have a swf that has a movie clip that on frm 10 should load a Progressive download file.flv

I have uploaded to my server the file.flv.  
I have put an absolute path in the componet inspector for ContentPath

but I get a output window complaint of  
Error opening URL "[[COLOR=#0000ff]http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/6path/path\_swf/file.flv"[/COLOR]](http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/6path/path_swf/file.flv)  
where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is my ip num …  
the page of html is in the dir 6path  
the Master swf is below that in path\_swf.  
and I have placed the file.flv there (path\_swf)as well as  
up a level in 6path. ( that is where the html is ).

I have tried the ContentPath to be  
./path\_swf /file.flv,  
path\_swf/file.flv,  
/path\_swf/file.flv and  
file.flv  
I cannot get the file.flv to play from the server.

On my machine locally I can have the content path as simply file.flv and then the master file.swf and the file.flv are together  
This works if I play the swf.

I think my problem cannot be ContentPath cause I have the file.flv … now … in the following 2 places:  
6path - that is where the html is - that looks down into path\_swf  
I have it inside path\_swf also

could It be something else?

mime type on the win2003 server or do i need a netconnection object?  
what am I missing??

Thank you
