I have just started to play with .flv files. The page with the embedded .flv
file works without error. The problem occurrs when I transfer from my local to
a different server. My local was running enterprise and the second server is
running standard. Is this the root of the problem? Thanks.

I hate microsoft more and more everyday. The problem is with the IIS 6.0 server.

See flash technote "Windows 2003 Server does not stream FLV videos"

We had this problem until we added the .flv as a mime type on IIS

-----------------------------------------
1) Select the site to configure in IIS, right click and select "Properties"
2) Under HTTP Headers Tab, select "File Types" under the MIME Map section and
select "New Type"
3) Type ".flv" as the associated extension and "video/x-flv" as the content
type.
4) Select "OK" and you're ready to fly!
-----------------------------------------

hope that helps... let me know.
