Friends,

I have a swf that has a movie clip that on frm 10 should load a Progressive
download file.flv

I have uploaded to my server the file.flv.
I have put an absolute path in the componet inspector for ContentPath

but I get a output window complaint of
Error opening URL "http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/6path/path_swf/file.flv"
where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is my ip num ...
the page of html is in the dir 6path
the Master swf is below that in path_swf.
and I have placed the file.flv there (path_swf)as well as
up a level in 6path. ( that is where the html is ).

I have tried the ContentPath to be
./path_swf /file.flv,
path_swf/file.flv,
/path_swf/file.flv and
file.flv
I cannot get the file.flv to play from the server.

On my machine locally I can have the content path as simply file.flv and the
n
the master file.swf and the file.flv are together
This works if I play the swf.

I think my problem cannot be ContentPath cause I have the file.flv ... now .
.
in the following 2 places:
6path - that is where the html is - that looks down into path_swf
I have it inside path_swf also

could It be something else?

mime type on the win2003 server or do i need a netconnection object?
what am I missing??

Thank you

FOUND IT...
it was MIME type on my server..
and the file.flv  content path is just file.flv if the
master swf & the file.flv are in the same dir
