Maybe a simple problem, but difficult to answer without knowing on what system, what webserver and what server-configuration you are running this. Assuming that you are generating the web-page dynamically with Perl, I suggest that you first try it with a static page and see if the link to the movie in that page works. When you have that working, then try to get your script to output the same link. If it doesn't work it could be a permission problem or it could have something to do with relative and absolute file paths. Hint: try it first with the full absolute file-path.

Try to remove the /htdocs part from the link, as Apache webserver assumes the content of /htdocs as it's top level directory, I may be wrong but yet it could do the job ;)
Another thing, check if the *.swf file has the +r flag set.
I also assume that you have put the output html from your perl script into the htdocs, and you are calling it from a web browser via http://localhost/filename.html
Hope that you can pull out something usefull from this reply.

If the requested url is that is failing is "/htdocs/file.swf" and your file is in
/htdocs/file.swf then I'm guessing the url that it should be requesting is something like http://domain.com/file.swf.
So if you're using an %ENV varible to come up with the first part of the string "/htdocs/" you're just using the wrong variables. If it's static try just using "file.swf" by itself and see if that works. | [reply] |
