Having a projector file point to external files?

[Cacograph]

I a making a flash website about one of my favorite musicians. Right now I`ve pretty much confirmed there`s no way to embed AVI/Quicktime files without using a GIF sequence, but that would be too big. What I was wondering if there was a command to point to a quicktime movie as a standalone file and play it within its own program with a button click.

2 ways:

on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.yourdomain.com/your.avi", "_blank");
}


or launch a small HTML window and have the avi play inside this window.

I`ll try the first way, but if I want this to be on a CD instead of a website? What would the address be then?

If you put the .avi in the same folder or directory as the .swf.


/your.avi

I did that, but then it said "xxxx.xxx could not be found. Please make sure the address is correct", more or less.

Try giving it an absolute path
