Video in Flash

I am haveing trouble being able to view my .flv files once I get them on the
web. I am using Flash Pro 8's FLVPlayback and have no problems with the video
when I have the files contentPath located on my computer. I have placed the
..flv along with the .swf for it on my webserver. From there I have changed the
contentPath for the videos to the http address the .flvs are located. So the
website .swf works fine but the videos don't show.

Note: When I have the contentPath of the .flv files on my computer, flash can
find them. When I change the content path the URL location it says that it
cannot find them. Why is this? Is this the problem? Am I missing something when
uploading the files or with a script I should be using?

I just got Flash Pro 8 and don't know much about the video side. Done research
on this and it seems like I am doing things right. Any help or iinformation
will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

Just to add to this, some servers need to be configured to accept the MIME
Type for FLV's.
If you're files work locally, and you've maintained the exact same folder
structures when you uploaded, than it should work on your server too.
