Hi, I am not sure where exactly I should post this but I have been trying to
populate a list of videos in a repeat region in Dreamweaver. This is working
just fine but when I try to use a "Go To Detail" page server behaviour and have
the chosen (clicked on thumbnail) play on the page I get a "Movie not loaded"
can someone point me in the right direction? The ASP page along with the video
and flash files are all in the same directory. Do I have to make this all one
Flash file? I see "You Tube" and there icons apear to be just JPEGS which load
on the "watch" page and they work just fine. That is the same type of feel I am
trying to acheinve. Here is my link code: Any ideas would be appreciated. If
anyone knows of a tutorial out there that I should read through that would be
great too.

Code above I do not believe is "link" code. It is the tags for loading a Flash
movie.

But a simple <a href tag surround a <img tag would provide a typical
thumbnail. Have that link load an ASP file that returns an HTML page with
simply the object tag in the body.

Test that to debug all issues that do not relate to DW behaviors and DW
Templates.

You may have some luck in the Dreamweaver forum.

I'll give it a try Lon, The above is the DW produced code when you ask to link
dynamically and then point to a recordset field. I can get the file name to
show i.e. VerEN_East.swf but as soon as I link it to a flash placeholder I get
nothing but a blank square. Right click on the file and it states "Movie not
loaded"

As for the DW forum I have been on there for a day and a half with no luck
finding a solution or getting feedback. Most people seem to be looking for a
?you tube? solution allowing them to upload video etc. Not a thumbnails list of
choices. If you want to take a look at what I am doing it is at:
http://www.toyotires.ca/video/videospots/videoEN.asp . The initial video is an
embedded flash movie. I have the icons on the right which when you click send
you to another similar page to play the dynamic linked spot. Let me know if you
come up with any ideas. This one is beating me up real good. Thanks.
