I'm trying to embed an AVI file (coded for streaming) into a page and want it to play back using Windows Media Player 7. (Of course, the client needs it tomorrow morning for a meeting...) I must be missing something stupid in my code.

When previewing the page from files on my machine, the movie plays. Once I upload the files via FTP and access the page, it comes up with the player but no movie...

I've tried <embed>:

<embed src="austrian.avi"; autostart=TRUE playback=FALSE>
</embed>

and <object>:

<object id="Player" width="320" height="240"
classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
<param name="autoStart" value="True">
<param name="URL" value="movie_wm7.avi">
</object>

My immediate need is a way to view the AVI using Windows Media Player. (Client is restricted to this player.) Not sure which is better <embed> or <object>, but which ever is used, I need the correct code.

Your help is appreciated.
