Hi all,

I am trying to use the new video features in flash 8 with no success.  
I want to stream the video from my server instead of embedding it in  
the swf. file. I managed to create the flv. file for it but I can’t figure  
out the path issues involved. I know I am supposed to upload the  
flv and swf files to my server and I have done so but I don’t see  
anything when I preview it in a browser. Does anyone have experience  
in this? Where am I suppose to point my flv file to? Right now I have  
everything in the same folder on my remote and local site. Do I need  
to point the flv. file to an url address? I am super confused here…  
Help!☹
