Getting Flash movies to play and not download

I am a novice at this. I am trying to put flash videos on a page that are playable. I use the link from the download options etc... and have added flv to the inline file extensions like the video shows. It still starts downloading the video. What am I missing?
Thanks
Mike

Could it be that your browser is configured to download that kind of file? Is it a link to the file or are you embedding it in your page?

It is a link to file just like the download option video shows. I guess I am having a hard time with the whole flash player thing. I have tried a few plug ins to no success. So it may not be the plug in. I do not know. I have read some of the other video file posts and I guess I am just a bit novice when it comes to programming. This is my first set up.

OK... If you tried to open with the same browser an FLV file that is not protected, are you also given the download prompt or does it playback?

Can you post the code you are trying to use or if you have a live site we can take a look..that would help.

Here is my code
[jwplayer config=”myplayer” file=”http://www.sessionsatstudiom.com/?s2member_file_download=Class1_1.flv&s2member_file_inline=yes&type=video”]
Does not work. Just shows up as that.

So I downloaded the viper quicktag plug in. Went into the settings to include flash and quicktime. I also downloaded the correct JW Player plugin. The first one. Went into its settings on the flashvar and added type=video.
Then I went to my posts visual mode and saw the flash icon up in the editing stuff. It asked me to put the path to the file on it. I copied the exact path with the inline stuff and low and behold embedded flash video on a secure page with secure video. Exactly what I needed for my audio school.
Hope this helps.
Mike
