I'm trying to get my instructional video to play on my company's website. I published the file as HTML, uploaded it, but when I click the link nothing comes up.

I then uploaded the flash file by itself and it played, but the quality wasn't as good and there were no buttons for users to pause, rewind, etc.

I want them to be able to view it in a webpage and be ablet to use the controls, please help

Thanks.

Thanks for getting back with me so quickly Rick. I uploaded the rest of the files, but I'm confused how that works as a webpage. If I can only link to one file, and the video needs 4 files, I'm not sure how I can get it to play.

Maybe I just need to play around with it a little bit.

Hi again

Well, it's sort of like a house of cards. Assuming you have all the files in all the right places, here's how it all works.

Your user clicks a link to the HTML page. The HTML page loads up into the browser. Inside the HTML page is code that looks for the existence of the standard.js file. Assuming this file is found, more code is dynamically written into the HTML page. Once that finishes, the MainMovie_skin.SWF is loaded up. Internally, the MainMovie_skin.SWF knows to look for and load the MainMovie.SWF. Then it all commences playing.

Hope that helps a tad... Rick

I am trying to upload a Captivate project to my Wiki. I uploaded the 4 files listed, but when I try to open it at the website, I get the following message:

File not found

Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Documents and Settings/birkby_paul d/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5/8M20EF0E/Facts on File_demo.htm.

Hi WittyName08 and welcome to our community

You probably failed to upload all the files you need. There should typically be four.

* MainMovie.SWF
* MainMovie_skin.SWF
* MainMovie.HTM
* standard.js

Cheers... Rick
