Expose and flash display in joomla! movie not loaded

I think Expose 4 is a excellent com_ for flash content display. You can actually see at work in my Multimedia manu link.

 

Exposé is a Flash-based tool which allows you to create eye-catching slide shows of your pictures on the web. A list of the features supported by exposé includes the following:
- direct linking to a photo or album
- a slide show can be automatically started
- a background/foreground image can be loaded
- more interface elements can be now customized
- smoother Interface
- iframe has been removed, full php integration
- easier to adjust the size using only the expose.html.php
- improved background color adjustments
- check_system.php script added for troublshooting
- supports SEF URL's (being re-worked currently, limited functionality)
- upload/add background image through Joomla backend

Upon further investigation, it became clear that adobe flash player 10 was not loading the flash's. In this case *.flv

When I was reading pages about SEF sh404SEF I finally found 1 post out off tons that actually solved the problem and allowed me to have SEF activated with Expose.

The solution was really simple:

In Global Configuration » site » Search Engine Friendly URLs = off
