I have produced some short swf format "videos" and placed them on a progressive download server.
When they play, the browser address bar shows the file location on the server!
I will be setting up a webpage with controlled access but I am concerned about the "address".
For control purposes and cost of data download I want to prevent the address from showing.
Is is possible with the format I am using or do I need to use a different format ?
Any suggestions welcomed.

Launch the SWF video from another page using variables.

//// Place this tag between <Head></Head> ////

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function Start(page)
{
OpenWin = this.open(page, "CtrlWindow","toolbar=No,menubar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,re sizable=No,fullscreen=No,status=No,width=693,heigh t=455,left=0,top=0,screenX=0,screenY=0");
}
//-->
</script>

///Then insert this tag by your link////

<a onclick="javascript:Start('gldbforDoc.html');"
href="javascript:void(0);">GLDB for DOC</a>

Thanks,
John

Thanks John....For your recent advice, I sent that request before I went on vacation- and I am only catching up right now.
I can manage the first piece but I am a little bit confused by the second part ....what link are you referring to that the TAG should be inserted by ...??

Sorry for the delay...I have it ready just need to post it to a host. I am currently placing tutorial links off another domain but posting it on this page might cause too much traffic. I could send it to you via e-mail.

Thanks,
John
