Flash video does not show up once uploaded. Help please.

OK I've spent several days searching online for an answer to this question and I'm at my wit's end.  Please help me out.  This is what is going on.
I'm using flash to design a basic website.  Within that website I want to place a .flv file.  Everything works fine in preview mode and test movie mode.  The problem comes when I puplish to the web.  I'm just using flash to publish which puts all the files in a folder.
IN previous attempts, once I load those files onto a server it does not play the .flv file.  The .sfw skin will show up but the general .sfw file for the project doesn't seem to be finding the .flv file.  And yes, I'm uploading the .flv file to the server.  Is there something wrong with the html code that it can't find the .flv file?  I can replicate this problem on my desktop by moving the .flv file out of it's project folder.  Once I do that and then click the .html file the page will load but it won't find the video file.  It's like it can only open that file if it's in the original project folder and the folder doesn't get moved.
I can't be the only who has experienced this.  Please help!

The effect you're having "only displaying the flvplayer skin but no video" is a clear sign that your swf can't find the flv.
One thing that you can do to ensure that everything is right is to first upload the .flv file to the desired location and then link your FLVPlayback to the url on the flash IDE / AS.
2nd Option would be to:
save flv, fla and swf in the SAME folder (no subfolders or such)
upload flv and swf to your webserver while keeping them together in the same folder, that ensures that your files can find eachother.

    Apple not recognizing known password.  Iforgot does not send email verification.  Help please.
    Don't know any other way to put it.  I typed in the correct password.  Now the account is locked.  Iforgot does not send an email verification.  The email is not in the junk mail or anywhere else.  It is typed correctly.  This is frustrating.  I was just trying to update the Ipad Mini.  I wanted to change the ownership to my husband and noticed that my daughter attached a new Icloud account.  I was just trying to verify her account.  I have the correct password.  Now the account is locked out.

    I figured it out.  It's a little confusing.  I was trying to add a new email address for iCloud and I was supposed to type in the main iCloud user ID and password.  The wording is not helpful because it displays the name of the new email address.

  • IPhone 5 storage with iOS 8 fluctuating; video does not show in manage storage

    Hi, I'm about to go on a long trip and the iPhone's local storage keeps fluctuating, from the 500MB to the 0MB range. I upgraded to iOS 8 yesterday via iTunes and there were 2.7GB left of storage. I checked all apps and when going to the Video App, there is nothing there, every single video (movie, tv show, music clip) shows the cloud icon, so "swiping to the left to delete" is not available.
    But when going to the iTunes Store "purchased" section, there are 3 tv episodes ready to watch, with no cloud but a "WATCH" icon. So I'm thinking this is what caused the fill-up, even though I didn't download 3 episodes. There is no "swiping to the left to delete" within the iTunes purchased section. The episodes just sit there, ready to be watched, and when clicking on the icon, sure enough, the episode comes up.
    Going to Manage Storage, there is no visible video app. Yes, all apps are showing, there is no "show all apps" option available at the bottom.
    I can't sync with iTunes because those episodes are stored on another drive, so the sync is not even an option, I hadn't seen this show in ages. There are no pending downloads. The sync that happened after the upgrade didn't change, same playlists, same photos, same everything. The 3 episodes show a cloud in the Video App.
    Does anyone have a solution for this, deleting the unwanted, "invisible" tv episodes? Thanks in advance.

    If the movie clip is there, but no thumbnails, I would suggest that you delete the thumbnails, cache, and analysis folders but take care not to delete your original clips. Do this in the Finder after shutting down iMovie.
    Then restart iMovie and let it regenerate the thumbnails. Let it run until it finishes.

  • HD Flash Video does not play smoothly on brand new Mac Mini

    I just bought a new Apple Mac Mini (2.5GHz model with discrete 256Mb AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics card, OS X 10.7.3). One thing I bought it for was watching HD video on the BBC iPlayer site here in the UK, but I found that it won't play it smoothly. It drops frames, particularly noticable as the camera pans. I'm using Safari and the current 11.1 Flash Player, but I've tried the latest release candidate too (11,2,202,221). The videos are 720p 50Hz, H.264 encoded, 3.2 Mbps, and use 80% - 100% CPU, so it seems to me that I don't have hardware acceleration. Enabling or disabling hardware accleration doesn't seem to make a difference.
    I'd like to test it with other HD H.264 Flash videos, but I can't find any. Can anyone point me to some?

    Not all video will have full hardware acceleration (stage video) enabled.  Can you try the following link?
    http://youtu.be/SHZFsJKlsuA?hd=1
    I just gave this a try with Chrome on my Macbook Pro (15", mid 2010) and Flash used between 8% - 25% cpu, the average being somewhere below 15%.

  • Flash Video Controls Not Showing in Page

    Have DWCS3 on XP
    I have a flash video file that was created with controls.
    There seems to be a checkbox for controls in
    Dreamweaver...BUT...when I play the video locally or on the
    server...the controls are absent.
    Did a search...What am I missing
    Thanks!

    Did you upload the video control images to server? Did you
    upload the SWF
    file? Can you post a link to the page so we can see the code
    and supporting
    files?

  • ADOBE FLASH PLAYER DOES NOT show up on add-ons and even though i install it on my computer it doesn't sync with Firefox to play movies

    Vudu requires Adobe Flash Player for movies and gives me an error message saying that I need to update to the newest version and gives a link. When i follow the link and install the newest version I still get the same message. I checked add-ons Firefox and Adobe Flash Player doesn't show up as an available add-on or plug-in. What is the problem?

    Your system details list doesn't show that the Shockwave Flash plugin is installed and enabled.
    If you have the Shockwave Flash plugin installed then make sure that it is enabled.
    *Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
    You can check the version of the current Flash player here:

  • Videos do not show up when uploaded

    I have videos already on my computer, however when i try to upload them (to be placed on my ipod) nothing shows up...

    There seems to be an issue with iTunes 7.1.1 . I had a previous version with Windows Vista and all was fine. I just upgraded my machine, installed the latest version of iTunes and now my videos that were in my library will not import. I rip them again and still no issue. It is either an issue with iTunes 7.1.1 or Quick Time. There are alot of other people having the same issue.
