Answer 1

These two urls don't match:

<param name="movie" value="Edit_video/9vi/home-page2.swf" />

<embed src="Edit_video/home-page2.swf" ... />

Answer 2

Additionally you need to ensure that the file system on your local server matches that of your live server.

I.e. make sure that the file path

Edit_video/9vi/home-page.swf

is valid from where the HTML is being stored online.

Answer 3

running on local host but when i run this on live server

One reason for that can be careless handling of case.

Windows native filesystems you are case-insensitive, so you can refer to Edit_video and if the real name of the directory is actually edit_video with a small e it doesn't care. But if you then upload it to a server running a case-sensitive filesystem (like most Linux hosts), that won't work any more; the two are different filenames and won't match.
