i have uploded vedio on my server i cant see online but locally i can see it can any one help mee ????????
Amit, the most common cause of your problem is the swf can’t find the video. Put the FLV files in the same folder as the swf that plays them and they will work every time.
I have been fighting the same issue as amit for the last month. I have my files in the same folder, files linked correctly, and all I get is either a white box or a green/white loader. It works fine locally, but anytime I upload to my web server, it can’t seem toload the FLV file. What is going on?
I fixed my issue. It was server related and seemed I had to add to set MIME type on my server. MIME type: video/x-flv Extension FLV. Hope that helps whoever is having problems like I was.
Does anyone know if the AC_runactivecontent javascript is in Dreamweaver CS4? My swf files will not play in dreamweaver even when i just hit play to test it. It just shows a white screen. what am I doing wrong!!!!
I am bummed. Why did you let the entire video play out. I was just getting to the good part. The tutorial was fabulous. You did a great service to us newbies. Thanks a ton!
