how to display flash objects from hard disk

Flash objects are .flv files and are stored in the IE cache.

I copied an .flv file from the cache to one of my directories. I copied the
object section of the web page that originally displayed the flash movie,
and set up an html file with my local file substituted:

<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="file:///d:/flv/video.flv"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="file:///d:/flv/video.flv" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
width="425" height="344">
</embed></object>

I got the yellow security bar complaining about running ActiveX objects from
a local disk, and I told it to go ahead. But then it just sat there, with
the Vista "busy" cursor circling, but never displaying the movie.

Anyone know how to set this up correctly to display a flash object from a
local disk?

Thanks,
Jeff

Get !free! Applian FLV Player. I works very well playing .flv standalone.
Also .on2 files play.
