AnthonyVideo.swf appears to be in the correct directory (htdocs), the correct MIME type (application/x-shockwave-flash) might need to be set. See here for more info: PowWeb Knowledgebase (http://www.powweb.com/knowledgebase/read_article.bml?kbid=2627)

Be advised that these are the PowWeb forums and assistance may not apply to other hosts. It appears the URL supplied is NOT hosted by PowWeb.

It is hosted by another company (I just checked), I assumed it was hosted here.. Oops. I dont know if the other hoster uses a htdocs directory as the doc root dir, but the MIME type still might be the issue. Oops. I usually check things like that first..

Anthony's start with computers is eerily similar to mine! The Flash animation worked for me in Firefox.

IE is giving me the same problem today, FF is fine. Make sure you FTP upload swf in Binary mode.
