    Im trying to host 2 vids in addition to two radio pieces and some music on a webpage I have up. I was considering streaming the vids but I have no idea how to do this. Everytime I import the flvs to the index page, macromedia asks me to put the uri/instance name etc. I have the flvs uploaded but have no idea what to put in for this field. I looked through the help manuals for definitions for the terms eg instance name etc. but couldn't find any so Im in the dark. I tried the progressive download option just to get some results but then it says to delete unnecessary characters from the url but I don't know what they are.

    As for the radio documentaries/music I was going to use a jeroen flash player. I have the swf player uploaded to a server. The xml file is on the same server. Here is the embed code

    <embed
    src="http://www.minds.nuim.ie/~pompousania/flvplayer/mediaplayer.swf&quot;
    width="400"
    height="450"
    allowscriptaccess="always"
    allowfullscreen="true"
    flashvars="width=400&height=450&file="http://www.minds.nuim.ie/~pompousania/flvplayer/mplaylist.xml&quot;
    &autoscroll=true&displayheight=300"
    />


    When I load up the page it keeps saying it cannot find the xml file. How can I remedy these problems. Bear in mind I'm an idiot with computers.

    Presuming your hosting the site on the same space change the code to the following:

    <embed
    src="flvplayer/mediaplayer.swf"
    width="400"
    height="450"
    allowscriptaccess="always"
    allowfullscreen="true"
    flashvars="width=400&height=450&file="flvplayer/mplaylist.xml"
    &autoscroll=true&displayheight=300"
    />

    if you actually look at your flashvars code you'll see you've got an extra " in there :)

    should probably just be 
    flashvars="width=400&height=450&file=flvplayer/mplaylist.xml&autoscroll=true&displayheight=300"

    or similar
