Don't see anything that looks like the URL to a file there and ../ means up, not down. But hey, I don't know nothin about flash!
Yeah, you and me both
And yeah, I meant up.
the path to the file is within the flashVars variable there, for some reason the extension was removed. (Dreamweaver generated it originally, go figure).
Here's all the code, it just needs to be modified to reference files in an alternate directory rather than the same directory.
CODE
<object id="myId2" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="384" height="288">
<param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=support_01&autoPlay=true&autoRewind=false" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" width="384" height="288">
<!--<![endif]-->
<div>
<h1>Alternative content</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
<img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p>
</div>
<!--[if !IE]>-->

<!--<![endif]-->

Here was my attempt to modify it to work in an alternate directory,
CODE
<object id="myId2" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="384" height="288">
<param name="movie" value="../FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=../Clear_Skin_1&streamName=../support_01&autoPlay=true&autoRewind=false" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" width="384" height="288">
<!--<![endif]-->
<div>
<h1>Alternative content</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p>
</div>

Wait a minute, I may have just figured it out. I think it may load in the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf, and then any path in FlashVars should be set relative to the location of that .swf file.
Sure enough, I changed the code to this and it works
CODE
<param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=../Clear_Skin_1&streamName=support_01&autoPlay=true&autoRewind=false" />
But the path to Clear_Skin_1.swf is still looking one directory up, but if I remove that, it stops working again. So why would the streamName path be different from the skinName path when the files are in the same directory! This doesn't make any sense.
