Embedding Flash in HTML using Dreamweaver - stopped working


hi all, not sure what's going on, i've done many times before , it's worked fine.

 

i've embedding flash videos i've created in premiere and/or converted using other software.  drag , drop flash file want , adjust layout using code/design etc , that's it, job done.  it's played fine.

 

now reason i've tried doing again morning , can't figure out.  when preview file doesn't show video, instead displays icons controls @ once in grid video meant be.  i've tried in ie, firefox , chrome, updated drivers, windows, adobe, flash etc no avail.

 

i've tried doing in blank html page in case of template might have been using interfering strange reason; still no luck.  what's stranger site created last year not displaying flash (flv) content locally, working fine on server.

 

does have ideas?

i've pasted code blank html page.  it's simple i've not noticed:

instead displays icons controls @ once in grid video meant be.

typically happens when "video player" .swf can't find actual .flv video file.

 

the vid file should be.... according flashvars:

streamname=biblical_small_flash/welcome

double check file name correct path web page .flv file. path needs relative (starting from) web page , not location of .swf file

best wishes,
