Hi,
You have never let me down in the past so I am sure someone knows the answer to this.

We have a multisite operationand to save loading the network with videos we have been using the SERVER VARIABLE REMOTE_HOST to select a local server as the source of a streaming video setting the source to

mms:/servername/filename

Is there an equivalent for "swf" shockwave files?

Many thanks in advance

Sandy

SWF files are usually included in the web page with the object tag. Youshould be able to place the full path (ip/folder/filename) in that tag to reference the object

Hi Bastien,
I hope things improve for you, I have tried this in various ways but can only get it to work using
"http:....."
I cannot get the file to run from a remote NT server. There are two files involved an .swf and an .flv

I am not an expert on videos and running them but the .swf seems to have a nice package and the dlv is the actual video. The guys who packaged it up are only use the tools so they don't know how Flash player gets the files, I'm just write ASAP code so I don't either. Currently I'm stumped.

Any ideas you might have would be greatfully received.

Hi Bastien,
I think I have cracked the problem, in writing down the code I had an idea to use \\\\IP\.... and that seems to work, just trying to prove it now.

I just tested this by grabbing a remote flash file from another server

Code: 
<html><body>

hi Bastien
I used
\\\\nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn\Videos\Shockwave\video.swf

the key was the \\\\.

Thanks for your help, I needed someone to talk the problem through. Have a good weekend.
