I know this can't be that hard... But...I've never done this before, and I'm not quite sure how to do it. I've got some .avi files and want to create a hyperlink that will play them.

Do you use the <EMBED> tag to play movies?

You don't have to embed them to have them play when a link is clicked. Simply upload them to the directory of your choice and create a link to them. People that click on the link will be able to view them if they have a player that works with .avi files.

Oh, cool! Even easier than I thought.
