Re: Frontpage 2003 Windows Media Player Add-in Problem, please hel

Thank you Chris for your reply, I am actually previewing it locally, because
that is what I used to do before I upgraded to WMP v.9&10 add-in without any
problem by the way, but you're right I'll try to publish it to see if there
is any difference.

Regarding importing the movie into FrontPage, & typing a word or words on
my page, and set it as a hyperlink to the media file, I knew you could do
that, but I was under the impression that when someone that doesn't have WMP
in their computer & tries to open the file, sometimes the file will play
differently or only partially in other players, maybe I'm wrong, but that is
the reason I hadn't done it like that, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks again
