Flash movie plays on my development site but not on live server.
Hi,
I created a video clip in Flash MX Professional 2004, using the Media Components. I have a separate .flv file for the movie. I placed the html, swf file & the .flv movie file all in the same folder. It worked beautifully on my development site, but when I posted it on the live server, it does not seem to find the movie. I did not use absolute paths, so that is not the problem. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Thanks,
Katrina

I would like to close this question! I found the answer. The file type .flv needed to be added to the properties of the server. I found this the technote about changing the setting:
