The SWF files play correctly, but the FLV video does not stream, when Flash Player movie files(SWF) that stream external FLV files (Flash videos) are placed on a Microsoft Windows 2003 server. These files would work correctly if tested on other operating systems.

Solution is simple:

1. On the Windows 2003 server, open the Internet Information Services Manager.
2. Expand the Local Computer Server.
3. Right-click the local computer server and select Properties.
4. Select the MIME Types tab.
5. Click New and enter the following information:
   • Associated Extension box: .FLV
   • MIME Type box: flv-application/octet-stream
6. Click OK.
7. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing service by runing iisreset from command prompt
