Dreamweaver CS4 flv problem / white box

Question

Hello-
I have a very simple HTML page. I have a very small flv file:
271kb. Following the instructions I embed the .flv file:
INSERT>MEDIA>FLV
and the following code is generated by Dreamweaver CS4:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="640"
height="360" id="FLVPlayer">
<param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf"
/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="&amp;MM_ComponentVersion=1&amp;skinName=Clear_Skin_1&amp;streamName=MatteFLASH&amp ;autoPlay=false&amp;autoRewind=false"
/>
<param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />
<!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0
r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player.
Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->
<param name="expressinstall"
value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
<!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it
from IE using IECC. -->
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" width="640" height="360">
<!--<![endif]-->
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="&amp;MM_ComponentVersion=1&amp;skinName=Clear_Skin_1&amp;streamName=MatteFLASH&amp ;autoPlay=false&amp;autoRewind=false"
/>
<param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />
<param name="expressinstall"
value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
<!-- The browser displays the following alternative
content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->
<div>
<h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of
Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
<p><a href="
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img
src="
http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif"
alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p>
</div>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>
The flv will NOT play in either browser. White Box Syndrome.
So I go to
http://freevideocoding.com
and get their code, as follows:
<embed src="
http://freevideocoding.com/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.undisclosedstudio.com/MatteFLASH. flv&autoStart=false"
width="640" height="360" quality="high"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
And my flvs PLAY JUST FINE. But they are old school.
How can I get Dreamweaver CS4 to embed these flvs so they
will play in browsers?
Please help! I'm stumped.

This is still an issue as of August 20, 2009.  I get the white box in both the testing server and the remote server.  I tried the CS3 version of FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf to no avail.  It does not work in either Firefox or IE.  Running CS4 on Vista based PC.
Has anyone made any progress in fixing this?
