FLV in EXE not playing

[suzannea595]

Hi,
I have an Flash file saved as an EXE which contains a couple of FLVs. The video and sound play fine when you open the EXE directly. In fact, it plays fine when you open it directly from wherever I put it (file server, web server, etc). But people will access this EXE from a link on a web page, when you click on that link, which then opens the EXE file, the video and sound will not play. I am stumped - and I'm far from being a Flash video expert. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks,
S Ankerbrand

where is the FLV? is it external or embedded into the flash movie?
