help regarding flv

[shan9211]

hi all,

I am designing a website where I need to show my videos. I am working on flash MX 2004 Pro and using the MediaPlayback component. I need to know what exactly should I write in the URL textbox of the MediaPlayback component. Right now I can see the compnent but can't see the video. My .swf & .html files are on root and the .flv file is in the media folder. So what will be the URL for it. If someone knows about a simple flv tutorial then please do let me know. Waiting for replies.

You have to put url like this:

suppose if your movie is in folder named test and the .flv file is in media folder under test and ur fla file in test folder.

then url is :


media/yourfile.flv


and it will work fine.

Thanks.

hi Ajay,

Well I tried both the ways the 'absolute' URL and the 'Relative' URL method but none of them worked. I think so I am making some mistake inside the file.

In the file, on the stage, on the first frame is the MediaPlayBack Component. In the properties I have specified the link of the flv file which is in the media folder. Now after uploading the .HTML, .SWF & the .FLV file all I can see is my control bar with no movie in it.

Is there anything wrong in the above mentioned explanation.

I am attaching the file if you guyz can see where is the problem. [flash mx 2004 pro file]

Your movie as is (with my own video) works fine with both the absolute or relative address... Are you sure your server allows FLV's?

hi Winner,

For testing I uploaded these files on the Brinkster's freespace package. If your file is same like mine then I guess it might be the hosting problem, the freespace package might not allowed movie streaming. I will upload the files on my dot.com and will check whether they are working or not.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah, Brinkster doesn't allow FLV playing... On their free hosting plan at least!

Does anyone know of any good freehosting that allow flv playback. Currently I am using http://www.asphost4free.com/ and I have to assume that since i having major flv loading issues since I have followed various tutorials word for word.

Does any one if 110mb.com allows flv playback, this free host seems to be the elite freehost of the moment.

Anyone know where I host flv files along with my site for free???

Please Help
