Flash video in Dreamweaver CS3

I entered a flash video (file.flv) in dreamweaver CS3, but when I go to preview in Firefow or explorer, it doesn't play. I only get a white space.

Can you copy and paste your code here?

Dear Kechka,

THe script and the swf-movie seem to be in the right place. Could there be something wrong with the flash video? I checked the video and it plays perfectly in a stand-alone flash player.
I never had this problem before.
Thank you for all your help.
