Flash Video in Player 7 on the Macintosh

Hi,

We have a project running locally from CD that is cross-platform and
a requirement is that it runs in Player 7 or earlier. Everything works
on the Windows side, but on the Mac side the project cant seem to find
the flv video. I have tried simplifying the directory path to the
video as much as possible and I have rebuilt the project in Flash MX 2004
to make sure it is not being affected by Flash 8.

I am using the Flash MediaPlayback component in order to take advanatage
of the built in controls. Why would this work in Flash Player 7 on windows
but not the Mac? The only fix I have been able to find is to upgrade the
Mac Flash Player to 8. Then it finds the video okay. This does not make
sense though because Flash video should have worked fine on a Mac before
Player 8 came out.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
