Hans. I think we have given you all the help that is possible with this issue. This is a 29 message thread... You continue not to listen (or understand?) to the instructions I (and others have given) in that I decompile you latest pawnee.swf and you are still pointing to a video file which is on yout local machine ""C:\\temp\\pawnee.flv"
None of the issues you are seeing are a result of any bugs or problems with swfobject itself, but your own code and server set up. A final suggestion to you is to get yourself a http debugger like charles or service capture so that you yourself can see what is being requested on the page. This will help you see if you have any relative path issues. Other than that, I would suggest you find a friend who has some web developemtn experience who can help you with some basics...
