The following page is over 4 years old, but still a good illustration of how servers, browsers, plugins, and media players conspire to confuse code, evade mime declarations, and generally make life difficult for authors. http://alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay Amaya as an authoring tool has not in the past handled media plugins. 75% of browsers are some version of Internet Explorer, which also does not handle media plugins, but prefers ActiveX controls. Apple has a comprehensive guide of how to embed Quicktime for Windows/IE <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/ QTScripting_HTML/index.html> Doubtless Microsoft will have detailed instructions for wmv, but these will probably be aimed solely at Windows/IE clients... --- Peter Kerr Snr Technician School of Music 6 Symonds St University of Auckland NZ
