Flash Media Problem in CS4?

Question

I've been using DW CS3 since it came out and have inserted
numerous flash video in web pages using the "Insert", "Media",
"Flash Video" menu commands. I mention this so that you will know I
have a basic understanding of how to do this and I have never had a
problem.
I've recently upgraded to DW CS4 and all of a sudden, I can
no longer get Flash Videos to work. I go through the same menu
command (except "Flash Video" has been replaced by "FLV..." Despite
the difference in menu command, it appears to be the same since the
same dialog box opens up for me to select flv file, skin and size.
However, once I complete the process and save it and view it either
in Live View OR in a browser, the video does NOT play. Instead of
the video playing I get a a blank white square the size of the
video. You can see a sample here:
http://www.fbchorizon.org/new_site/children.htm.
The other issue is that I've gone back to DW CS3 (I still
have both on my computer) to see if I could enter the new video on
the page there and now it won't work either. The only change I've
made to my computer since this has worked is that I've installed
CS4 Design Premium. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post a link to the page. With that, it's usually easy
to diagnose.
