<div>Hi Paul,
<div><br></div>
<div>I've checked the path, it is correct. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Okay I have just found out something, it appears the codec used by my own file converter to flv is not recognised by Xerte.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Because when I used another sample .flv from the web it works fine. So at least I know it has nothing to do with Xerte, it's the particular .flv file I'm trying to load.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks guys!</div>

You won’t see any errors, just a blank screen like you describe. At least, that’s what happens when using a graphics icon to load a swf movie. I presume the flv video would behave the same way.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">But unfortunately, although the page is there, there is no video showing, and neither are the controls nor the text that comes with the page (i.e. a blank page with only the title working/showing).
