FLV problem online

[charter]

I have some Flash Video Files (.flv) and wish to show them on from my website.

When I have my flv video in my flash site it works perfect when I load locally. When I put it online though it doesn't work. I tried to connect to the file through typing the directory but it just says can't load .flv file. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong by any chance?

When I click on the button I also get the following:
A dialogue box with the buttons:
SAVE - OPEN - CANCEL.

If I click on open I get the following message in my FLV player:
Unable to load (file name)

If I use Flash Player it is just blank.

Could tell me what i am doing wrong? The button has a link to (filename.flv).
I just want to be able to click on a button and to be able to run it (without it being downloaded) in FLV player and Flash Player in a popup or even better in Videobox (Lightbox for video).

Is there any special code I need in the webpage, if so what is it?

All help much appreciated

Can you provide a link to your site? It's kind of hard to find the problem without seeing it in action.

If you have a video file that plays correctly on your local machine yet will not play from a Web server, the problem is almost always a path issue, that is, if your local machine exact file/folder structure is duplicated on your Web server.
Remember, your .flv will not play itself. It is being played by a .swf (shaped like a video player). So it depends on how the .swf is coded to look for the video (is it from same folder or a folder called “video”), such as video/filename.flv. The HTML path code used to place the player on the page is not the same as the path to the video.
<param name="movie" value="player/cidm_player_whw.swf" />
<embed src="player/cidm_player_whw.swf"……../>does not tell you the path to the video file, just the video player.
My suggestion, double check your paths. If you see the player, path to .swf is correct, then problem is most likely the path from the player to the video file.
Good luck,
