Linking to open up a flash file.

D

Don Schmidt

'Got to do a little guessing here:

I'm assuming you want a link on a webpage to start a flash file when
clicked; if true, give this a try.

Need to know the website address, flash file name and not having them, some
substitutes.

I'll use www.yoursite.com for your website and apple_pie.flv for the flash
file.

Here we go:

Create a folder on the host server, in your website files location named
downloads
Upload apple_pie.flv into the downloads folder.

Now edit your website files to include something like (with Publisher, open
your website pub file)

All are welcome to get a gift to make this Christmas a memorable one.

With the mouse, highlite the word gift

Now select Insert, Hyperlink

In the Hyperlink box type

http://www.yoursite.com/downloads/apple_pie.flv

do an OK

Save, upload the new website files and better get busy baking apple pies.

Merry Christmas

BTW: the folder, "downloads" was added to ensure the flash file wouldn't get
accidentally removed when replacing the website files. Also, is a good
place for any additional files you wish to make available for your visitors.
