I believe the Flash 8 player requires the full pathnames to flv files in
order to play correctly.

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.

Make sure your source is relative to your website and not a path like:
DO:
movie.flv
DON'T:
C:\foo\bar\movie.flv

I have found that using a FLVPlayback component will play the movie. I

converted the moive and it will play just fine when during development,
however when I publish the swf to the webserver the movie does not play.
It
acts like it can't find the flv file. The file is in the same directory as
the swf which shows up the skin shows up but not the movie. I have already
adjust the source using the component inspector to point the the flv file.
Not sure what else has to be done. Any help would be great.

Batch converting to FLV's is how I've done it. You get a tool that does
just that in the flash install-application folder.

Hello,
I have a client that has a .wmv movie and wants to know
how
you can get it to play directly in the browser window without opening a
helper app such as Windows Media Player. Does the movie have to be
converted
to a different format or how is this done. Basically he wants to emulate
youtube where you click on a movie and it plays on the page.
Thanks
