(“try loosening Flash security settings”? what does that mean? I can play other Flash content fine in IE8.. for example

thank you..

You’ll see this error if you’re not running through a web server (if you’re just opening the file in the browser.) You can change the security settings or use a local Apache server to view the file. Thankfully your end users won’t see that error.

See http://flowplayer.org/forum/1/21086 for more on this error.

Of course, if you’re seeing this error while pulling this up from your web server, then we’ll have to dig deeper into what’s going on.

When I was first getting to grips with HTML5 video I kept getting the same error even online. The best solution I found was to use this:

Hope this helps.

i want to understand HTML5

I have the same problem too! IE is driving me nuts. I tried the same on Safari on a Mac and there’s no problem!
