Flash CS3 > FLVPlayback > Component Inspector > contentPath (set) > Export Movie > Upload > Firefox > Refresh > Smash (head on MacBook)
So after three hours of that routine with very little changing, I figured out that IIS on the web server didn't have the MIME type defined for the Flash video (FLV) file that was being referenced in the Flash movie (website). So, obviously, this was why IIS wasn't serving up the FLV...

Just a quick shout out to my friend Bobby Derosa who’s interviewing in Redmond this week with the Grand Moff Tarkin of Microsoft’s C# LINQ team. Good luck happens when preparedness meets opportunity; I wish the best for you and this opportunity you have been presented with (even though it is over on the dark side).

More and more I find myself contemplating leaving the Microsoft product lines for less-expensive, less cumbersome and less error-prone products.

I've found a great .NET blog that I think I will be visiting quite frequently from now on. Bobby DeRosa is the guy behind C# Shiznit, a .NET blog that has a plethora of rants, raves, downloads, and news about .NET related topics.
In one of his recent blog posts he talks about finding a font called Consolas that is optimized for the Visual Studio 2005 development gui. After downloading the font and...
