I see the movies no problem. In both IE and Firefox.

HI Envision3d

Just figuered it out thanks to Paul. I knew it would be something simple. I don’t understand it of course but I made a separate column in the database this time with the file name less the .swf extension. When DW loads the player for some reason it removes the extension in the following lines when you place a video directly into the page. i.e. 'movie','/Video/VideoSpots/VerEN_East' as apposed to 'movie','/Video/VideoSpots/VerEN_East.swf' which is what my database was inserting.

Here are the changes I made:

NEW CODE

AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase',' http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','width','325','height','260','title','Toyo Video Channel','src','<%=(VideoPlaying.Fields.Item("mv_link2").Value)%>','quality','high','pluginspage',' http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','<%=(VideoPlaying.Fields.Item("mv_link2").Value)%>' ); //end AC code

</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase=" http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="325" height="260" title="Toyo Video Channel">

<param name="movie" value="<%=(VideoPlaying.Fields.Item("mv_link").Value)%>" />

<param name="quality" value="high" />

<embed src="<%=(VideoPlaying.Fields.Item("mv_link").Value)%>" width="325" height="260" autostart="false" quality="high" pluginspage=" http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>

OLD CODE

AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase',' http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','width','325','height','260','title','Toyo Video Channel','src','<%=(VideoPlaying.Fields.Item("mv_link").Value)%>','quality','high','pluginspage',' http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','<%=(VideoPlaying.Fields.Item("mv_link").Value)%>' ); //end AC code

</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase=" http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="325" height="260" title="Toyo Video Channel">

<param name="movie" value="<%=(VideoPlaying.Fields.Item("mv_link").Value)%>" />

<param name="quality" value="high" />

<embed src="<%=(VideoPlaying.Fields.Item("mv_link").Value)%>" width="325" height="260" autostart="false" quality="high" pluginspage=" http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>

I probably could probably just use one database feild and just ad the .swf extension where needed eg <%=(VideoPlaying.Fields.Item("mv_link").Value)%>.swf but what the heck!

Not sure if there is a better way of doing this but this seems to work. If you have a simpler way of doing it please let me know.

Thanks for replying. Have a great week.

Hi Again,

Here is the initial page:
http://www.toyotires.ca/Video/VideoSpots/VideoEN.asp
Here is the page it points to (by clicking an icon you basically get here too):
http://www.toyotires.ca/Video/VideoSpots/VideoEN2.asp?ID=3

Under the white box you can see the name of the flash file so I know the database is reading properly but I just can't get the video to play. Anyhelp is appreciated.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase=" http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="32" height="32" title="Toyo Tire Video CHannel">
<param name="movie" value="<%=(VideoPlaying.Fields.Item("mv_link").Value)%>" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="<%=(VideoPlaying.Fields.Item("mv_link").Value)%>" quality="high" pluginspage=" http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="32" height="32"></embed>

You will have to do a check to see if it's there, if it is show it, if its not then don't.
