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

yes - its not loading at all
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:
