Author Media Playback COmp. not loadinf FLV

I'm having trouble getting the Media Playback component
to stream an FLV file

It loads the Media Component in the SWF, but does not
load any FLV or anything when I click the btn assigned to stream

I'm pretty sure it's because I don't understand how to
navigate to the the path to call up my FLV

My FLV file is called "animatics.FLV"

Here is the hierarchy of where that FLV is on my Mac:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------
On my Mac, I have two internal hard drives

STARTUP is my 1st hard drive (w/ my Flash app, System Folder, etc.)

MEDIA is my 2nd hard drive with my Flash Website files, other media files, etc.

So, I assume my path is

MEDIA/sweetybomb.com/FLA/animatics.flv

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----

In the ActionScript on the Media Playback component I have

//sets up handlers for buttons

btnFlags.onRelease=function()
{
showIt.contentPath="MEDIA/sweetybomb.com/FLA/animatics.flv";
}

-----------------------------------------

And in the Component Inspector on that Media Playback component
in the Parameters' URL field I have:

MEDIA/sweetybomb.com/FLA/animatics.flv
_______________________

My FLA, SWF and HTML of this movie also reside in

MEDIA/sweetybomb.com/FLA

But it doesn't work when I test the movie

Please advise when you have a moment
