Local Shockwave file problem

[Dan]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a kiosk pc to load a external web page with a link to
a local (kiosk pc only) shockwave file but I'm running into a few problems.
This is the link I am using on the external web page to call the shockwave
file;-

<a href="file:///C|/dsmedia/directions console mx.dcr"><img
src="images/directions.gif" alt="directions" width="140" height="24"
border="0">

But when I click onto the link nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Try changing the spaces in the path to %20. Change the link to point to an html
page. You can get Director to create the correct tags for the dcr as it needs
object and embed tags something like this:

<object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#vers
ion=7,0,2,0" width="320" height="256">
<param name="src" value="eyes.dcr">
<embed src="eyes.dcr"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/" width="320"
height="256"></embed>
</object>

If you change the #version section to be the version of Shockwave installed
already then I think it will avoid it trying to connect to MM to check the
version.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the reply. I tried without the spaces to begin with amongst a
lot of other things but all worked fine with referencing [url]http://loclahost[/url].

Thanks for the reply.
