Yes I did this. However I also found the if I go to the webserver and try to play the flv movie directly using the flash8 player nothing happens, the player opens up and remains blank. It appears as if the file is empty, however the file is 46KB in size. Not sure what is going on here. Like I said it plays fine from the Flash CS interface but not from the server through the browser.
