PROBLEM WITH FLASH VIDEO (SWF, FLV PLAYER) NOT WORKING INSIDE OF HTML PAGE CONTENT
I'm working on a proof-of-concept for a client, and used Flash CS4 and Dreamweaver 8 (8.0) to embed Flash (SWF) into the site code. The idea is to load the Flash with background scene image, and video as SWF (plays inside a picture frame of bedroom scene). Scene with video works using Dreamweaver preview in FF 3.0 browser, but not on web site (see source code below).
Basically, Flash CS4 published and exported the HTML and SWF files, and I've included the JavaScript from the Flash export into my "flash_intro.html" page in the desired location of the page (inside a TD tag), not as a separate JS script file -- no such file generated by Dreamweaver or Flash CS4 (script/AC_RunActiveConten
I'm just starting out with Flash CS4 (trial version), but the process seems fairly intuitive at this point. Just seem to have something in the source code not configured correctly. Perhaps someone with a fresh set of eyes (and expertise) would have some suggestions or a solution? The web page in question can be found at http://www.m-ergentsolutions.com/bedzak/flash_intro.html

Hello Blue-Genie! Thank you for your feedback. The concept the client wants is to have the video player appear inside the picture frame on top-right of the main bedroom scene. So, to achieve this effect, the background graphic was designed in Photoshop CS3 (PSD, JPG), imported into Flash CS4 (trial version), added the FLV file and player, published/exported files and assets (HTML, SWF, FLV), and uploaded to the web server via FTP.
As mentioned, the file appears to work as expected in "local" preview, just not on the test web site. I have had success with viewing a Dreamweaver-generated FLVPlayer_Progressive.SWF (no other content) and the video with skin plays fine.
Lastly, I've used both SwiSH Video Converter and Flash Media Encoder software to convert the MOV video file into an SWF and FLV, with same result -- video will not play on test web site. How would a possible MIME-related issue impact one SWF and not another on the web server?
Best Regards,
Chad

After some additional research, I've done away with the AC_RunActiveContent.js script file, and have since replaced with SWFObject.js. The problem is the same with video not appearing inside the picture frame in top-right of bedroom scene, nor ANYWHERE on the page, for that matter! The new URL in question is as follows: http://www.m-ergentsolutions.com/bedzak/index.html -- see source code below.
Any suggestions or solutions would greatly appreciated!

i doubt it has anything to do with how you're embedding your file.
mime type on your server - where it doesn't work, other people have had the same issue when they can run a flv locally but not on their test servers.

Well, I've checked the web host for possible MIME settings issues on the Linux server of my host account -- SWF and FLV applications are configured. I'm still not understanding why I can play the embedded video inside the SWF scene -- tried absolute and relative linking conventions...same result...no video loading! I've uploaded just the video player (FLVPlayer_Progressive) shown at http://www.m-ergentsolutions.com/bedzak/flvtest.html. I need to get this working on the server very soon!
Thanks for any additional suggestions or advice to resolve this issue.

i'm sorry. that's all i got.

This sounds like a flash domain security issue.
The flv player component has a parameter for the path to the flv file. If the path is different on the test server to the local server where you see it successfully, you're going to get this issue. The fix for this problem is to export one swf for local testing, then change the path parameter to reflect the test server and re-export.
The simplest way to bypass the issue is to keep the swf and the flv files in a folder called 'swf' in the top level of the site. The embed url/data parameter becomes 'swf/flash.swf', the flv player component path parameter becomes just the flv filename, 'flashmovie.flv'. This way the exported swf should work both locally and on a live server as is.
Now, CS4 is another bag of worms. I've played with it for 5mins and came to the conclusion that I hated it. Try and find flv component parameters in CS4 - it's a task in its self. I haven't upgraded from v8 - flash went straight downhill after v8.

Hello v2Media:
Thank you for your timely response to my request for additional assistance. The overall objective is for this video to play inside a scene of a bedroom (as SWF) and serve as a landing page (see code snipped below for entire source code) for an e-commerce website (powered by Volusion Ecommerce). I have since changed the test site to a page at the following link: http://www.bedzak.com/category_s/19.htm
Accordingly, the SWF and FLV media files are now stored as "assets" on the host server, and I have created the exact folder structure on my local machine /v/vspfiles/assets -- "media" and "scripts" are folders for SWF, FLV, and JS files (AC_RunActiveContent; swfobject) respectively. If necessary, I will most likely be using SWFObject code for loading of the SWF script file, not AC_RunActivgeContent as generated by Flash CS4 during export.
Once again, the SWF scene loads, but the FLV video and player will not load when viewed on the host server. Everything works fine, of course, when viewing in FF 3.0 and IE 7 browser on the local computer (Windows XP Pro). Is there something I'm missing in the "object" code (embedded) or SWFObject.js script file? If required, a ZIP file with the entire folder contents under "v", as structured on the host server, can be provided.

Any chance there is a noticeable issue with the parameter settings? I've provided the <object> code below for the embedded SWF file for the bedroom scene, and the FLV video that should be playing inside the picture frame when page loads.
Also, I've created the same folder structure (v/vspfiles/assets/media) on my local computer, and exported the SWF w/ embedded FLV player using Flash CS4. I even configured the URL where the SWF and FLV video will load from. Still same result...works fine locally SWF and FLV scene loads during browser test, but on the actual server, SWF loads, but FLV video does not load.
See http://www.bedzak.com/category_s/19.htm for the test page and host server domain where the SWF and FLV will need to load from. Once this works correctly on the intended domain, the scene will replace the current storefront home page as "default.htm" versus "default.asp".
Also, I've created the same folder structure (v/vspfiles/assets/media) on my local computer, and exported the SWF w/ embedded FLV player using Flash CS4. I even configured the URL where the SWF and FLV video will load from.

that bit there that's showing with the 2 lamps is that a bitmap?
it might be a mime type issue on your server - need to add .flv to it.
