    Can't get an FLV to work

    Hi there
    Have a look at this page for reference:http://www.irongatewine.com/esommelier.htm

    I used dreamweaver to insert an FLV file. Saved and uploaded both the HTML and the FLV but for some reason it's not working when live? I tested the FLV on my desktop and it worked fine and I checked with the hosting company and they support flash...

    Any idea why this isn't working?

    Thank you
    Losse

    flv alone wont work,- you still need a flash file (swf) that works as a player. Embed the swf file that plays back the flv in your html that should do it propably

    Here's the code... I thought dreamweaver took care of the player?

    Code:
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="320" height="240" id="FLVPlayer">
                <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
                <param name="salign" value="lt" />
                <param name="quality" value="high" />
                <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
                <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=flash/esomm&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" />
                <embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=flash/esomm&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="320" height="240" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />          
    </object>
