I could upload flv video using file Manager. Added into page using PageMason "Insert/Edit flash". But for some reason it does not play online. It gives me option to download, but not play. Below is my page:

I'm a newbie. What am I missing ?  Confused

You'll need a script or player to play the video on.  You might check this one out, I have heard good things about it:

I realize this is an old post...But I viewed your site and noticed that you don't have the Flash working on your site.
Then I viewed your source and I see your problem..First, you are using the .flv file. Flash has to be compiled or "published" in order to work on a site as you are trying to use it. What you are going to need is to publish it and use the .swf file.
When you publish the file, you will wind up with 3 files.. the .fla file, the .swf and an .html file. Open the HTML file so that you can view the source and you will see a script similar to this..
Code:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="199" height="150" id="myMovie" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="MyMovie.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="MyMovie.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="199" height="150" name="lifestyles" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
You will need to use that code in the file in which you are wanting to show your Flash movie. Just remember to change your paths to where you upload the flash movie.. For example

Code:
embed src="MyMovie.swf" would be embed src="myPath/MyMovie.swf" or if you want to use an absolute URL, then embed src="http://mySite.com/myPath/MyMovie.swf"
