I am using Flash MX 2004 Pro and I have added the media playback component to a layer in a scene with several other layers. Using the component inspector, I have linked the corresponding flv file which resides in the same directory as the fla file. I have utilized several tutorials and followed every step. In fact, when I open a new fla and follow the same steps, the movie plays perfectly. It is only in my website in the particular scene that it won't play. When I test the movie (or publish it), it only displays a white box with Player written on it. Is AS Necessary? I thought you only had to add the media playback component and using the component inspector to set the url to the flv file and it will just play. What am I doing wrong?

I'm pretty sure that once you embed the SWF into a HTML page, any referencing or calling of files is done from wherever the HTML page lies (not the swf), so make sure you have the FLV that is being called in the same folder as the HTML (or rewrite the reference address in the FLA). I know this is a problem with loadMovie, not sure about your problem but hope it helps.
