    Default Playing quicktime thru shockwave DCR

    Greetings earthlings

    Here's the problem: created a shockwave movie that calls a quicktime movie
    and drives a 'slide' presentation based on the movietime.

    This all works perfectly, in the projector, but fails miserably in the DCR

    I've tried using 'importFileInto, setting the 'file' property of the member,
    but it only works when the media's in the original folder.

    This will be working (lol) over an intranet.

    I've had problems like the browser crashing if I put the file on a
    webserver.

    Anyone got the best solution??

    I looked at a couple of technotes that said to put the media in a dswmedia
    folder, but I couldn't make sense of the file references.

    Please help!!

    Thanks Andrew, but not quite what I need.
    I have no problem playing the video via the DCR if it remains in the folder
    it was created in
