I am fairly new to flash and a client sent me a file to put into a flash file as a test.  
It is a small .mov file.

I opened up flash, set my canvas area to match and then imported the .mov file.

When I preview it, the file looks perfect.

So I did the export and made the .swf file.

Now when I click on it locally to open it, it opens in flash and looks great, however when I upload it to either of two servers I have it refuses to play online!  
I have uploaded it multiple times and have re-exported it multiple times but I get the same result.  
Local file works, remote doesnt.

Is there some setting I dont know about that I need to set correctly?

Any help would be appreciated!
