It's almost always an issue of not uploading the dependent files to the correct location. OR, not uploading the dependent files at all.

That should work,

Hi Lou,

I always appreciate your suggestions, but I would like to note something. I notice quite a few of your suggestions are related to youtube videos. For me (and I'm sure a lot of other people) youtube is blocked by our firewall, so many of those great solutions you are proposing are unattainable!

Is there any way you can provide an alternative, non-youtube solution as well??

I just say that because I look forward to reading your response and most of the time I can't access your solution! Uggghh!! :)

Just thought I'd throw that out there... Thank you!!

Hi Anna. Thanks for the comment, though I don't think many others here share your firewall issues.

What I think the original poster should do is as follows:

Once embedding the .flv file into the dreamweaver environment, he should save first, and then wait a few seconds. Dreamweaver automatically generates some javascript files that need to be present on the server for the video to play.

Most people just save the file, and don't even notice the "Scripts" folder that is generated by DW. In my experience, this is the cause of 90% of video playbacks (including .swf's) working only locally but not on the hosted server.

I tend to use YouTube videos because people like to see exactly what I am doing on my computer so that they can replicate without messing up. I'll start adding a bit more than just a link though. Thanks.

thanks for your suggestion, but my problem is still not solved.
javascript code generated by dreamweaver is in my html page not in another script folder. and i uploading .flv file and my html files on server. any one please solve my problem...


code generated by dreamweaver:


<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_CheckFlashVersion(reqVerStr,msg){
with(navigator){
var isIE = (appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 && userAgent.indexOf("Opera") == -1);

var desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash"] ? plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description : "";

else{

What version of DW are you using? I know CS3 and CS4 both create a separate scripts folder. I'm running CS5. If you'd like, you can compress your .flv and send it to me ([email protected]) and I'll send you the files back with the dependent files. I have to run off to the doctor right now but I'll take another look at your code once I get back.

Then, make a scripts folder in the same directory as the html file. Name the folder "Scripts and create a js file named "swfobject_modified.js" inside of the scripts folder. Paste the following code in the js file:
