    Default why doesn't it find my files??

    ok I have a movie that plays other director movie
    go to movie "whatever"

    when I publish the movie for the web I get an error message saying it can't locate the file,

    I have tried to set it up in with dswmedia file, and tried file://"whatever.dcr"
    and all I get is error messages and missing files.

    my file structure is:

    root.dcr
    dswmedia file
    whatever.dcr

    and I tried

    dswmedia file
    root.dcr
    whatever.dcr

    now I've been reading alot about support files and dswmedia files, and directpath lingo, and I'm more confused now then when I started. why is it that the server can't find my .dcr when I post them on the web, but it locates them any other why published- cd, projector, or preview in browser.

    I need a hand with the proper file structure, and the lingo to find and play my .dcr on the web

    any help would be greatly appreciate it

    thanks
    Ken

    you have to remember when you run it on the web it is actually playing from a version that gets downloaded to the user's browser ... so regular go to movie commands fail because the files are on your server, not on the user's computer.

    You will have to use GoToNetMovie
