Ok, I've been fiddling wit this for days, and still can't get this to play. I have a SWF player that points to the .flv file to play and the .flv file in the same directory on the web server. The file plays fine on my local machine, but when I try to play it in my browser, it doesn't play. Here is the code I have that was genereated from flash 8.
