.flv plays on front page, but not in node

hello,

very strange issue. just can not figure it out. i have and .flv file with a player that plays a video no problem on the front page. but when i click on the title and go to the specific contents node the space where the file should be playing is blank. if i left click i can see the little box that says "about adobe flash player 9", so something is there. anybody have this issue before? can't seem to find anything on it. code all looks fine by me... really stumped.

thanks,

ephman
