opening file in object player

[alexhkleung]

<object type="application/x-mplayer2"
data="../audio/75743899.mp3"
width="200" height="50"
standby= "ready to play ..." >
<param name="autoplay" value="true"/>
<param name="src" value="../audio/75743899.mp3"
valuetype ="data"/>
Plug-in not found - Please install
</object>

why is it that i could only open file as "75743899.mp3" but not "../audio/75743899.mp3" ?
isn't that the way to open files in other directory?

Is the 'audio' file in the same directory as the file that contains that code?

[alexhkleung]

up one directory

ok so can you try:

HTML: Select all

<object type="application/x-mplayer2"
        data="audio/75743899.mp3"
        width="200" height="50"
        standby= "ready to play ..." >
        <param name="autoplay" value="true"/>
        <param name="src" value="audio/75743899.mp3"
        valuetype ="data"/>

</object>

i mean
this code is in a file that's in the "project" folder
the "audio" folder and the "project" folder are under the same directory say folder "a"

[alexhkleung]

done!

i moved the whole "audio" folder into the "project" folder
and used data="audio/75743899.mp3" and it played alright!

Thanks very much!

Your code should work then. Have you tried the full route to see if it is your code is correct? e.g. other directorys here on the way to 'a'/a/audio/75743899.mp3

EDIT: Congrats!!
