Starting out with FMS

[Apurva Lawale]

Hi,

We are just starting out with FMS.

Was looking at this article from adobe website

[url]http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_player.html[/url]

Followed all the way, I can see the thumbnails but when the thumbnail is
clicked can't see the bigger movie. Why? All, I see is that progressbar
shows as if it streaming but nothing happens. I guess it has to do something
with paths but I am not sure what because I can see the thumbnails.

FMS is installed on a Windows 2003 Server.

Would appreciate if anyone could point out sites where there are any
tutorials for novices or any examples.

Thanks in advance.

It's likely becuase of the FLVPlayback component that's being used. I never use
the profab components, but my understanding is that the FLVPlayback requires a
specific .asc file that gets added to the application directory on the server
side. Unfortunately, it's not documented anywhere.

Look in the following location on your machine and see if you can find this
file (assuming you're running windows and you installed Flash to its default
location):

C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\Samples and
Tutorials\Samples\Components\FLVPlayback\main.asc

Add that file to your application directory (or add its content to your
existing main.asc), and you should be good to go.
