Hello, I have a client that has a .wmv movie and wants to know how you can get it to play directly in the browser window without opening a helper app such as Windows Media Player. Does the movie have to be converted to a different format or how is this done. Basically he wants

Batch converting to FLV's is how I've done it. You get a tool that does just that in the flash install-application folder. :) Seb. Steve Abaffy wrote: Hello, I have a client that has a .wmv movie and wants to know how you can get it to play directly in the browser window

Yes I did this. However I also found the if I go to the webserver and try to play the flv movie directly using the flash8 player nothing happens, the player opens up and remains blank. It appears as if the file is empty, however the file is 46KB in size. Not sure what is going on here. Like I said

I believe the Flash 8 player requires the full pathnames to flv files in order to play correctly. Regard Margo Powell On 9/10/2008 1:17 PM, Steve Abaffy wrote: Yes I did this. However I also found the if I go to the webserver and try to play the flv movie directly using the flash8 player
