Videos don't work when testing in Adobe Dreamweaver(tm)

Question:
I used your Media List as is in order to put my own video in to play, however, before I used my video I just used what your download as a default just to test to see if it works. Well when I set it up to open in dreamweaver, as i try to test in a browser, I having trouble with the flash showing up properly. The links wont show up nor will the video play.
Answer:
The problem lies in Flash's sandbox security. You can't play videos from one domain (including your desktop) that are on another domain outside of the Flash IDE without a crossdomain policy file in place.

Or Adobe's website: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_security.pdf

Thanks!
