Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / August 2006

Hello. I create a video in Flash using import->video. I select my .flv file and
a skin.

The .flv is on my hard drive. The component property reflects this location.

I want to upload the video to my web server to display on my MovableType blog.

If I change the properties in Flash to reflect the server location Flash says
"could not upload video."

So I kept the component property to reflect the location on my C drive.

I import that Flash media into dreamweaver to get the HTML code for my site.

I thought I could then change the code to reflect the new location of the file.

Neither of these works when I create an entry on the MT site. The entry is
blank.

It works fine when I preview in Dreamweaver.

Here is the code I am posting:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />      
</embed>                        
</object>

Any perspective would be appreciated.

Thanks,
