FLASH: Must always IP address - Why?

[DataSmith]

Hi all,


Simple question from a neophyte:


When I create a FLASH movie and ftp it to one of my sites (the swf and the 

html), I'm finding that I get the 404 - Page not found error when I try to 

access it in IE, for example by entering www.xxx/flashmovie.html.  I find 

that it works if I enter the IP; ex., http://211.188.17.230/flashmovie.html.


Even a redirector statement like meta http-equiv refresh, etc. to the IP 

address invokes the 404 error.


What's the remedy?


TIA,

Frank
