    Create a new page. Use INSERT | Media > Flash, and select your Flash file.
    Are you prompted to apply the fix?

    This is the link to the Scripts folder.

    > AC_FL_RunContent(
    This is the part that calls the function in the Scripts folder to load the
    Flash.

    Just copy and paste those parts into your page, and you're done. Make sure
    you upload the Scripts folder.

    I recreated a new page draged the flash video into it and uploaded it, the
    scripts are there, freshly uploaded.


    All It says after loading the page is done, will not play. very frustrating.
    What have I done wrong now? I want to use more flash if I can get this
    fixed, or figure out what I did wrong.

    Default Re: Flash not displaying

    may be the problem is in your Flash movie; if you right-click it shows
    the Flash menu so, the browser seems to have loaded it

    try inserting the Flash movie in a new page without the fix (wich goal,
    BTW, is to eliminate the need to click over Flash content in IE before
    you can interact with it). or you could try disabling JS in your browser
    to see what happens

    anyway, it seems the movie is loaded but it can't load/show the video
    for some reason. better, try with a flash movie without the video, just
    a text

    Browsing to this file -

    [url]http://thevideocreator.com/graphics/musicvideo.swf[/url]

    (which is where the page specified)

    does not produce a file not found error - that means the file is there and
    loading. But it does give a blank page. I think it's the file....

    There is something wrong with your Flash file -

    [url]http://thevideocreator.com/graphics/musicvideo.swf[/url]

    When you browse there, you get a blank page. If the file were working
    properly, it would trigger the streaming video to download. It is not. We
    cannot help you with that part of things....

    there's still a problem with the video. check the path in the flash movie

    not found: [url]http://thevideocreator.com/graphics/OProj_web.flv[/url]

    BTW, are you using Progressive download or streamming?
