Can't get Progressive FLV's to playback in flash movie

Developing a flash resource which runs FLV files from within it as pro
gressive. It works ok on my local testing computer/network server. But when I put it online it does not play.
I opened up the components panel for each FLV and noticed they were absolutely linked to my network drive (obviously when online this linking will now work). So i changed all the linking to be relative and some warning windows did come up and say i was breaking the link but i ignored them because i don't care about how it runs locally...i want this resource to work online!
But now the FLVs will not playback locally or online! I need some help....something that it might also be is I am uploading this resource to an LMS called Janisons (perhaps they are not FLV through flash playback - friendly).
Is there any particular path of troubleshooting I could go along? Because I have just about tried everything i know!
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I changed back one of the FLVs parameters to link to local drive in the component parameters - and as expected, it runs fine locally but when previewd in chrome (which might i add has some great debugging features that you could only dream of finding in IE) i get the following message:
SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file http://my.tafe.qld.gov.au/GLC/GLC_Food_Hospitality/GLC_SITHFAB009A_TQC_A/Scenario/barMenu.swf cannot access local resource G:\Resource Development\RD\2009-2010\ITG 4\Food&Bev\RSA\Online\Resources\Scenario\Scenario4_Staff_Responsibility\ExpensiveArvo2.flv. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.

Geez I feel like a numbskull.
I had identified the problem correctly (linking) - but i only just found out that the linking is relative to the placement of the SWF file within the folder structure - NOT THE HTML FILE IT IS EMBEDDED WITHIN. I'm just so used to considering everything relative to the HTML page in previous versions of Flash (i.e. when coding external website links).
This site gave me the quick answer I needed:

  • Need help with FLV type SWF playback in flash movie

    Hi,
    I have three external SWF files from a client without FLA
    sources. The SWFs were done 3 years ago by someone else so there is
    no way to modify the existing SWF files. These contain no
    interactivity but may involve nested clips on the main timeline.
    They are AS1 or AS2 files so they need to be done with AS2
    scripting to keep it simple.
    I need to call these SWF files inside another flash movie and
    play them in a player window as if they were video files with
    play/pause, seekbar and volume controls. The needed functionality
    is similar to FLV players. My controls will use custom graphic
    buttons and sliders mimicking the look of CNN video player window.
    Does anyone know a good tutorial on how to script these
    controls for SWF?
    Most likely I think I will load it in a clip and I am
    thinking that I will need to get the duration of the loaded swf in
    order to set up the seekbar.
    Thanks in advance,
    Attila

    I think your professor, or somebody, gave you directions with ActionScript 2 programming. In AS2, what oyu have here would have worked just fine. But, in AS3, you need to use a fairly different approach. Your buttons, and their instance name, can remain the same. But now, in AS3, you have to add event listeners in the following manner:
    yourButtonName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, yourListenerFunction);
    In your case, you can do one of two things - A) assign a unique listener function to each button, or B) assign the same listsner to both functions:
    A)
    start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startPolygon);
    stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopPolygon);
    function startPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
        polygon.play();
    function stopPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
        polygon.stop();
    B)
    start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);
    stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);
    function controlPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
       if (e.target.name == "start_btn") {//Test for the name of the object that dispatched the CLICK event
          polygon.play();
       } else if (e.target.name == "stop_btn") {
          polygon.stop();
    When I'm using several buttons that do the same/nearly similar things, I favor approach B over A, as it keeps me to jsut one single function to deal with.

    I have the same problem and I am very upset. I have heard that Apple/iTunes is removing all songs that are unlicened for this type of download. Apple does not want to be responsible for pirated music. Much of mine is down loaded from CD's.  I have to go to search and put in every song and then, if found,  put it into My Music then back into iTunes.  WHAT A HASSLE. I don't remeber reading anything about this. 224 songs so far.  NOT HAPPY.

  • Can't get Behringer Xenyx302 USB mixer playback; record works [SOLVED]

    I just installed Arch Linux and can't get my USB audio mixer to work. When using it on Windows, it acts as an external sound card, and works great! But for some reason, when I tell KDE Control Module to change the sound card to PCM2902 Audio Codec, and click OK, it just switches back to Juniper HDMI Audio. I can't get it to stay. If I click Apply, and switch Sound Device to Recording instead of Playback, the meter registers sound from my microphone! (Which is plugged into the mixer.) So the mixer is at least half-working... but it's the less important half. Any ideas?
    I have PulseAudio and pulseaudio-alsa installed. I'm not sure if KMix/KDE is using PulseAudio, though, or if it's using ALSA. Not sure how to find that out.

  • How can I get rid of by back/foward buttons and move my url bar to the right of my tabs, as I had in the previous version of firefox?

    Before I updated Firefox, my tabs were on the same line as the search/url bar, and I didn't have the back/forward buttons. I liked the simple design I had, but now it doesn't seem like I can go back to that setting.

  • How can I get iTunes to stop downloading iTunes extras with movies?

    How can I get Itunes to stop downloading the movie extras?  We never watch them and they are wasting space on my harddrive.  Each time I delete them, Itunes redownloads the extras.

    Thx, and I agree.
    I'm selecting that "my question has been answered" here - because the answer is NO. It's apparently not possible. Which is frakkin' ridiculous, and I'd love to be proven wrong. But that's how it appears to be.
    What I ended up doing was first backing up all my data by downloading an app called DiskAid (free, Windows and OS X), and actually digging through my iPhone's folder system until I found the right Applications folder, and clicked through each subfolder until I found the Apps whose data I wanted to copy.
    For anyone who ever needs to do that, the location is:
    /user/Applications/[long string of numbers]/Documents
    I was able to back up my apps on my home computer. So I still am not able to sync up any part of my phone at my work computer, without risking deleting these files. Basically I've minimized the possible damage by making backups.
    Whatev. I'll live. : ) Beautiful phone. Just so irritating.

  • I can't get an album from iPhoto to a flash drive

    How do I get an album in iPhoto to a flash drive?How do I get an album from IPhoto to a flash drive????

    Couple of things:
    was able to use the iPhoto Export menu and export directly to an external flash drive. I was also able to select and drag the photos from iPhoto directly to the drive
    Depending on the settings used that can yield exporting and dragging can produce very different results.  This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    and apparently the limit on the number of files is above anything I have done so far.
    The limit is to the number of items on the Tope Level I of the drive. I can't recall it exactly but it's a multiple of 32, hence the trick is to put the image into a folder, that way there's only one item at the top level.

  • How can I get progress on a file upload

    Hello,
    I have a process that is uploading a comma delimited file from the user PC and then creating it on the UNIX box, from that point I use an external table definition to read the contents of the file and process it.
    All of this works fine on a smaller file, however, I have been asked to modify another process to use the same methodology. The problem is this other process uses files that are over 200 meg in size. I have set up progress bars for the creation of the file on the UNIX OS, as well as the processing, however, the load of the file from the desktop PC to the file store is taking over three minutes so the users really need to see a progress bar to show them the process is still working and how long until completion.
    Is there a way to retrieve the progress of the upload procedure so I can relate that to my users after submit on the page containing the file browse object?
    Any help is appreciated,

  • How can I get an flv video to stop playing when I exit the page it's on?

    The audio continues to play no matter where I navigate on the site.
    Thanks

    You want to stop the audio from playing and also downloading more video/audio if it is still downloading when you go to a new keyframe where the video display/component or mp3 player is removed from the stage because it's keyframe ended or do not exist anymore but you still hear the audio.
    Add an event listener to your video playback component that calls a function when the flash player tries to remove the video plaer from the stage that stops the netstream or at least stops/pauses the video playback.
    [link removed]
    //sample NetConnection and NetStream classes when the video player is removed from the stage tell the NetStream to stop playing or downloading the content with .close();
    var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    connection.connect(null);
    var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(connection);
    addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, videoRemovedFromStage);
    function videoRemovedFromStage(e:Event){
