AVI - finding the file in Vitalize?

[RickyRombo]

It's driving me crazy! The avi and the ccn are both in the same directory - http://freewebtown.com/rickygaming/MM0.avi and http://freewebtown.com/rickygaming/MazeMakerOmega.ccn

Start of frame:
New File = AppPath$+"MM0.avi"

I've tried more, like putting the file in binary.

And also, it works in the exe when its on my computer, but not when its uploaded :mad:

I am going to go crazy!

EDIT: I noticed the link didn't work for the avi, I tried typing it myself and sometimes it worked, sometimes not. :mad:

Try putting in the URL that will work for DirectShow not sure about the avi but it should.

[RickyRombo]

I tried that. When I tried to build the internet application it complained that the internet application wasn't being built to the same directory as the avi

EDIT: Has to be something with the video file. It will load via browser but not direct show or anything else (external links)

How to fix this?

[RickyRombo]

Can someone give me a random avi to see if it's the file that is the problem? Or can someone help me figure out why this doesn't work? I made a video tutorial and I aim to use it!

[RickyRombo]

Please?

Try setting a string to "AppPath$" and text that on your server

[RickyRombo]

C:/Users/Owner/AppData
Should I use that?
Actually hold on I'll try it -

I don't think it works. Maybe because it's not allowed in the directory so the string doesn't get the correct filename?

[RickyRombo]

sooo...

well I'm trying to get the game to load in vitalize here:
www.freewebtown.com/rickygaming/MazeMaker.html

It works but not the vid - does it work for others?

EDIT: oh yeah- i also renamed the vid to MazeMakerVid.avi

[RickyRombo]

Bump

Please?
Anyone want to give me a sample avi or a sample on how to do this???
It's going to be hard to take if the whole tutorial video I spent over 3 hours making is completely useless... I've been verry patient...

Help?

What about using DirectShow and converting that to a WMV file?
I know that will work.
