I've encoded a video for a client as flash video (.flv) but I can't seem to find an application to play it on my Mac (tried VLC with no success).???

I can view it after the client has uploaded it to his web site, but as he wants some more clips doing I'd like to be able to check on my Mac before I send them to him.

I'd heard there was a 'stand alone flash player' but I can't find it on the Adobe site.

TIA

Steve
