I keep trying to follow the various supposedly simple directions. Namely create
an instance of FLVPlayback Component. And when I try to set the contentPath to
a file in the same folder as the .fla/.swf and I keep getting

Failed to Load FLV: filename

???

Just getting annoyed and frustrated. Any thoughts, insights?

i think we need more info - like what the file name is - if there are spaces or illegal characters,
that may pose a problem.

The problem was a corrupt .flv

The movie is videotest.swf

However, I am having a very quirky issue. If I run the file (named
"videotest.swf") on my PC's desktop in the same folder with the .flv's they run
perfectly. However, as soon as I move it to our internal web server for
testing it runs into problems.

The movie is receiving the VideoID value as passed by FlashVars. The
ActionScript is as follows:


movieContent = "V" + VideoID + ".flv";
FLVplayer.contentPath = movieContent;


As I said, it works fine on my desktop But once it is moved to our webserver
it becomes quirky. These are the two quirks...

a) I no longer get the control panel (play/stop/etc)

b) the larger 18mb clip fails to load


The web server is running Windows 2000 Server, IIS 5, & ColdFusionMX server

There are some servers that do not recognize the FLV MIME type and refuse to
serve it. You will need to add it to the recognized list. Search the forums for
the correct type ? it is all beyond me, but that is most likely the answer.

Traced the skin issue to the fact that nothing in the documentation I had
mentioned that the skin was published in a seperate .swf.

Now, I am having a problem that is akin to caching or something. I have a
movie that I named V1.flv, it was the corrupt file and wouldn't run. Now I
recreated the file, and named it V3.flv. It runs fine, I deleted the old
V1.flv and replaced it with a copy of V3.flv. Still won't run, however, if I
make a copy of V3.flv and name it V4.flv or V5.flv it runs.

What gives?
