problem palying flv video in flash 8

[wayland1]

I imported a flv video into flash 8 using the following instructions.

file, import video, browsed for the flv video on my computer, progressive download from web server, skin:none. dialog box came up to save the file. flv loaded.

My problem is when I click on test movie in flash e nothing shows up in the flash player window. This works perfectly on another computer. I cannot figure out why it will not work on this computer.

If I try to open the flv by right clicking on it and opening with flash player 8 still nothing happens. Is there something I need to do on this computer. works fine on another computer.

ok I found the fix. Even though I used the addon for firefox to download the video from youtube as a flv file, flash 8 did not show the video. I downloaded the video as a mp3 then used the encoder in flash to convert the mp3 to flv. (quick time must be installed for the flash 8 encoder to work)

No prob after that,
