Question

Movie on CD looks for D:\ drive

I have created a Table of Contents that is a one-slide movie. It contains hyperlinks to ten other HTM movies. The user will click on the first movie, it will play and then play the second movie, which then plays the third movie, etc. In each movie, I have chosen to play another "URL or file" and chosen the HTM file. I was told to choose "URL or file" because the HTM works the best. If I select "play another movie", I can only select the SWF files.

I have chosen "URL or file" and selected the next HTM in all of the movies. Published them as SWF and copied them to a CD. When I play the CD on one workstation, it works because the CD-ROM is the D drive. When I play it on another workstation, the CD does not work because the CD-ROM is the E drive.

How can I utilize the "URL or file" option, select the next HTM without designating a specific drive? Please help quickly! I am in a bind! Thanks!

    Hi snhawkins

    Normally the trick is to never ever *browse* to select the movie you are linking to. Often, when you do it this way, you end up with an absolute link and not a relative one.

    I'd examine the buttons or click boxes and ensure you don't see anything like D:\ prefixing the movie file name. All you want to see is FileName.swf or FileName.htm there.

    Cheers... Rick
