I have created a site that is an old tv as the interface. Inside the tv screen is an ActiveX window that plays a Window Media File inside of it. When I F12 the site it plays fine. I uploaded it and on the computer I created the site, I open Internet Explorer and go to my site and the site plays fine with the video and all. If I go to another computer on my network or at work the index loads, but the ActiveX window just has the Windows Media Player Icon and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to set up something with my Hosting site? I checked with them and I can stream files. I'm a Newbie, so I'm sure I'm missing something. Here is a link to my site:


I hope someone can walk me through my problems.
Thanks,
John Schenkel

From your source code
Code: 
<param name="FileName" value="C:\Documents and Settings\John Schenkel\Desktop\SP Website FINAL\Intro2.wmv">

Sure you can play it, no one else has that file in Documents...

The path needs to link either to " or "media/Intro2.wmv"

That loads up fine now, takes a while but plays. What is the problem now?

I finally figured it out to get it to play. Your suggestions really helped me. Thanks again. Do you have any suggestions for better quality and speed? Right now it is a .wmv file at about 500 x 300 to fill the screen. Would a flash, real or anything else be better?

Thanks,
John
