Okay, I figured out that the extension is WMV, but when I try to click on the button it opens the screen, but then it says that it can't find the movie clip. I don't know what to do, I really want to put these movie clips in, but it won't work. I know the connection is right and everything is put down right, but it still won't work. There should be no problem but there is, someone please help!!!!!!
Can you shows the button code you are using so we know?
i.e. It could be a path problem?
<a href=....>

I know for a fact it is not a path problem, but it is
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<a href="opening.wmv">DDDDDDDDDD</a>
</body>
</html>
ignore the button name though, I was just experimenting with buttons. Like I said, the movie window opens, but it won't play a movie. It keeps telling me it can't find it, they are saved in the same place and everything so that isn't it.

Just in case it helps at all this is the message that comes up instead of the movie clip.
----Windows Media Player cannot find the specified file. Be sure the path is typed correctly. If it is, the file does not exist at the specified location, or the computer where the file is stored is offline.

both files are located in the same place.
Are you sure the filename is opening.wmv and not [red]O[/red]pening.wmv, or opening.[red]WMV[/red] browsers tend to be case sensitive.
so opening.[red]WMV[/red] is different than opening.[red]wmv[/red].

Have you tried with the full path like Fendal Suggested?
If you try to link anything else other than the movie file , say like a dummy text file does it work? What browser are you using to test this?
Are you sure whatver software you are using to create the webpage is not modifying the links to relative ones when you save the file?

This doesn't seem to be a firewall issue, it isn't running on unix so it can't be a upper/lower case issue and if you are sure it isn't a path problem, I'd have thought it could only be your file extension, if you can play the clip/video by double clicking it and you know it works (Codecs, ect), I would suggest making sure it isn't " wm ", instead of " wmv ".
Other than that I don't thing I could help without actually seeing it, Sorry.
