For some reason when I moved my local site onto the server my flash node renamed my flash file from slideshow.swf to slideshow_0.swf. Obviously the node disappeared.
In Edit I tried to Browse and (re)upload slideshow.swf but when I Preview I get this error:
The selected file could not be copied, because no file by that name exists. Please check that you supplied the correct filename.
I thought I could cheat by changing the name of my swf on the server from slideshow.swf to slideshow_0.swf - nothing.
It says:Current file is slideshow_0.swf, but it shows a blank space. If I right click on the blank space I get About Flash Player 10 and Movie not loaded is grayed out so it knows that there should be flash there.
I also made sure my base path is /sites/all/themes/myTheme/flash (the location of my files)- still nothing.
I also tried removing the file from the server and then upload it through the Flash Node Module - same error and no upload.
I also tried submitting a new flash - same error.
Note: the direct path url to the flash works beautiful, so it isn't an issue with the swf.
The flash node worked perfectly when I had it locally.
I have tried to upload from Firefox, IE, and Chrome - same error.
I typed the path into the node directly in the database, but it still does not show up.
This is for a client that has already paid me for the site, so I am a bit worried. Any help (hack or legit) would be super appreciated.

found a temp workaround
The node was trying to path to http://mysite.org/files/sites/all/themes/myTheme/flash/slideshow.swf instead of http://mysite.org/sites/all/themes/myTheme/flash/slideshow.swf. Changing the base path (or the direct path) within the flash node interface did nothing. Stuart reminded me to view source.
I moved the flash file into files and then and typed the correct path into the database... It worked!
The node interface is still broken, but at least I can see my slideshow.
