Media Access on Moodles front page

I have been developing a site (http://practicalnutritionclass.com/moodle/) for a while and thought everything was working perfectly until I tried to play some of the video clips (.flv files made via Camtasia) using another browser and without logging in. I was astounded when the following message popped up in place of the video clip:

Access not allowed


Later I verified that this is not a browser problem (firefox, opera and IE all have the problem) but a login problem. I would like visitors, who have not logged in, to be able to watch the video clips on the front page of the site. It appears that because I had viewed the clips when logged in, that later, when I tested to see if a non-logged visitor could view the clips, I was able to see the clips even though a visitor would not be allowed.


I am sure that I have viewed some Moodle installations that have video clips available for a non-logged visitor to view. How can I do this? For any who respond, thanks in advance.

Upload them into your Site Files area (and not inside a course).

Thank you very much. I moved the folder containing the flash files to the "Files" subdirectory just one level below the the Moodle directory --- and it worked perfectly.

I appologize for asking a question with such a simple answer. I am sure that information is listed somewhere but I had searched in the MoodleDocs and discussion forums on several occasions without finding any help. Thanks again.
