Putting .movie onto website

hi me again... how do you put a .movie file onto a website? thx

If you put a .movie file on the website it won't play. That type of file has to be opened in 3dfa.

If you want to put one there for download purposes, you will need to include all the images in the movie itself and all file paths must be relative. The best way to do this is to keep all of your files in the same folder from start to finish, and then zip the entire file.

When you export your .movie file to swf it also creates an HTML file of the same name. Cut and paste the everything from <object> to </object> into your web page. then make sure you upload the swf file into the same directory as the html file on your web server.


P.S. if this sounds confusing I'd reccomend you read up on basic HTML web building before trying to tackle the added complication of Flash and object embedding. Personally I like using Javascript to load a sized page that contains only the flash object and doing the complete site within Flash.
