Hello Dan,
if your swfs that are loaded to your main application load the flvs, and
you use a build in FLV-playback component you might just run into a
pathing issue with the components skin which causes the component to
stop working.
The component skin uses a relative path which you either have to change
when you load your component into another path or simply change the
location of the skin.swf...
Maybe this can solve your problem...though i wonder why it is occurring
only under macOS....
Good luck
Thomas

Hello,
We're creating a training CD-Rom that uses multiple swfs and FLVs. One
of the requirements is that the CD-Rom work both on a Mac and PC. We're
having some difficulties getting the FLVs to play on the Mac.
The problem seems to stem from differences in how the Mac (Safari?) pull
FLVs. If I have the FLV on the root directory of the CD-Rom with the
main_application.swf file, it plays fine, but if I have the course
directories structured how I would like (explained below) it wont play
on the Mac. It continues to play on the PC.
I would like to have all my swfs organized in volume->chapter folder
structure, and all the FLV videos in a separate Videos folder at the
root level. Since the main_application.swf loads in other SWFs, the
loaded swfs are treated as if they too are on the root level (instead of
e:\volume\chapter\loaded_swf.swf). This would seem to work fine,
because then I could still point al the swfs to look for the flv in the
videos directory at the root, but like I said, unless I have the FLVs on
the root level they won't load.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get this system to work on the Mac. If I
put all the flvs at the root level it will work, but we're looking at
some 50+ flvs, and that would be really cluttered and un-organized.
We'd also like to avoid using projectors, since this will eventually be
moved to the internet.
Thoughts or suggestions much appreciated. Let me know if you need
further clarifications.
Thanks!
-Dan
