That does happen sometimes with local testing; for example, when you do "control>test movie". Upload the player, text file, and your video to your server (or host) and try it there, it should work fine.
If it doesn't work on the web please send me the address of your video and I'll try it out on my end.

Yes, it will work fine for that. One of the strengths of this player is you can paste it into an existing Flash file as it is self contained within it's own movie clip. When someone clicks the button you could have this video player appear in the same ways you could have a movie clip appear. You could just change visibility or you could use the attach method, or simply use the button to advance to a frame which has the video player on it.
The player is also good if you are working within Flash because you can resize it just like any other movie clip (as you can see in the demo, which is a Flash file).
On a related note, if you want them to be able to click on multiple links on the same page and have the new videos load in the same player (versus the buttons loading a new player, or advancing to another frame) I have a setup like that in my PayPal Store template. http://www.buystockflash.com/all_files/preview/BigStockFlash-5625/index.html
Just click on the videos link and you'll see it.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Video Formats
This player will play any size video including HD 1080p. It will play flv, mp4, mov, m4v, mv4. If you have another video format (ex. aiv) I include instructions for how to convert them.
Text or Flash Control
The features of this player are controlled with a simple text file so Flash is not required (but if you prefer controls are available within the Flash file).
Quick Setup
-------------------------
1. Open the included text file. On the first line you will see:
video=http://www.yourhost.com/yourvideo.flv
Replace the address with the address of your video.
2. Upload the text file, swf file, html file and your video file to the same folder on your server. Now your video will play. Note: If you want the player in an existing html file simply copy the object code (...) from the included html file and paste it in to your html file where you would like the player to appear.
More Controls
-------------------------
There is no further need to adjust the text file, but these controls are available:
autoFit = true;
fitHeight = false;
fitWidth = false;
screenSizeDisplayOptions =true;
smoothingOn = true;
_global.volumeDefault = 20;
hardwareScalingFullScreen = true;
Playing in a Flash File
-------------------------------------
To use this player in an existing FLA just copy and paste it. It's self contained within it's own movie clip.
