FLV files need an embedded player. I would heartily recommend Wimpy Wasp
which I've used extensively without a glitch

If your site is hosted on a Windows 2003 server, then the server has to be
configured to recognize FLV as a mime type. It may be that your server
hasn't been configured in this way. Unless you're running your own server,
this isn't a DIY job and you'll have to contact your host.
Some hosts are not helpful and will tell you they can't do this or they
don't offer 'streaming media' as part of their hosting plan. I got around
that problem uploading my FLVs to a friend's server who uses a Linux server
and using absolute links to channel the FLVs through my domain. This problem
does not affect Linux servers.
