Hi Don, you probably have to set your minimum player version to 9.0.115 or 9.0.124 as the option was only available from that flash player version, otherwise you can also follow this tutorial for setting it up. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/hd_video_flash_player.html

I’m using flash CS3 and I recently had to reinstall. Now applications I made using the FLV component and AS3 wont work. I am not able to play mp4 movie clips. When I test my movie I get a video error telling me, I need to use an FLV extension or that the video must be an FLV. Has anyone ever run across this? I have posted this on several forums, but thought I would ask here as well.

@Jamie It's most likely an ATOM issue. The ATOM stores all of the information about your video (like the length for example). In order to begin playback before the whole video downloads you need to access that ATOM. Typically video software puts the ATOM at the end of a video file because it isn't necessary for typical playback. For the Web you need that Atom at the front of your video file. The easiest way to do this is to open the MOV file in Quicktime Pro and resave it.

Thanks for the info, some other pages were saying that you had to write Action script. I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe Media Encoder. I have videos on the website in both Flash and Windows media.

@Timo Hey Timo... wondered if you ever found the work around for the Error 1005 problem on you Mac. I've got the same issue on a mac and pulling hair out.
