I used dreamweaver to add a FLV video to a page on one of my websites. In a local preview of the page the video plays just fine. I uploaded the video to my web server in the appropriate location, and already have the AC_RunActiveContent.js in place on the web server in use for other videos.

HOWEVER, when you view the live page the video won't play. I've checked everything 20 times, and I am sure that I'm missing something simple, and need another set of un-weary eyes.

Here's the url to the live page:

www.damartravel.com/cruises/cunard.html (http://www.damartravel.com/cruises/cunard.html)

Help!! Thanks in Advance.

pretty sure this may be a problem

<param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Corona_Skin_3&streamName=../flash/cunard&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" />
I know that the value of a flash variable cannot start with a number... Not sure about symbols... but it would also help if you defined the variable name... like this:

<param name="FlashVars" value="flashvariable=&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Corona_Skin_3&streamName=../flash/cunard&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" />
though I'm not a flash professional... other wise it looks fine to me...
hopes this helps...

When I try to navigate to:


http://www.damartravel.com/cruises/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf

I get a:

ERROR - Page not found.

If the player was there, I should get something.

Thanks for your help guys, I was looking for some error in the code, and I simply forgot to upload the player and the skins to the web server... lol. It was a long day, nice catch, thank you!
