I have created a Flash slide presentation in Flash MX 2004. It has audio (in
..mp3 format) and video (in .flv format) externally linked using media
components from the same folder. My presentation plays flawlessly within the
Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 environment, but does not when I play
from the browser or the projector. The same file plays fine from a system
running Windows XP Pro (IE 6, Flash Player 7.). The system I am having problem
has Win 2000, IE 6.0, Flash 7.0. The audio is jerky and the audio/animation
only stays in the first frame.

Macromedia supports shows IE 5.5 for a system that has Win 2000 instead of IE
6.0. Is that the problem?

Any help will be highly aprpeciated.

Any browser that has the Flash Player 7 plugin should be able to display
your SWF. The problem may very well be network latency, which has little
(if anything) to do with your browser. The reason it works fine from within
the Flash authoring environment is probably because it's pulling your
MP3s/FLVs directly from the hard drive. When you test on another machine,
those files are getting streamed over the network ... right? And if so,
that's likely your culprit. You may want to consider preloaders for the
heavy media, or possbily reducing the overall height and width of your
video.

Sorry. I'm stumped, too, then.

Thanks for your response. The problem exists even if I play from the same
machine. It actually plays fine from other machine over the web (except with a
latency). I am still searching to find the resolution.
