ok, I have a small flash file that plays an flv
this works on my machine
this works on our test server
but as soon as I copy it to our live server it stops working…
we already have some flv’s on there so I’m not sure what could be causing this??
I’ve checked the flash file and the contentpath for the media display seems to be correct (otherwise it wouldn’t work on our test server)
any ideas???
crossdomain restrictions?
thanks for the reply eilsoe, weird I still don’t know the problem but I’ve managed to fix it
the swf was in the same directory as the flv and html files but for some reason just saying “firstmovie.flv” wasn’t working.
I was loading the flv using actionscript. Removed the AS, added the URL to the component inspector and then changed the URL to “http://www.mycompanysite.com/interviews/firstmovie.flv” and it worked fine
weird but glad it’s fixed 
I’ve had problems like that before too.
Say your main .swf file is in the root directory and it uses a loader to load flvplayer.swf which is in a subdirectory. If the path to your .flv isn’t absolute, it will look for the filename in the root directory once it’s been loaded by the main .swf
stop the server, clear the cahce, restart. also make sure if your using a .net server that the file extension is added to the list of files being served.
