Media Player 9.0 problem

[slowmouse]

The embeded mpeg file was running okay in Microsoft Media Player 8.0, but the "play" button is not activated when the MMP 9.0 is used.

<object codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="240" width="320">
<embed height="240" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" src="../Media/picture.mpg" type="video/mpeg" width="320" controller="false" autoplay="true" bgcolor="#c0c0c0" autostart="true" controls="imagewindow">
</object>

However, if I change src="../Media/picture.mpg" to absolute path (src="/root/Media/picture.mpg" or (src="c:/root/Media/picture.mpg"), then it becomes okay. Does that mean MMP 9.0 does not support relative path? It's strange.

Do you have any idea how shall fix the problem for MMP 9.0? To be flexible, I want to use a relative path specification.

version 9 doesn't support relative path for scripts and afaik for src for NS. Maybe it does not support relative paths at all...I have not tried 9, but NS has problems with versions 6x, 7x and relative paths.

btw, why the code above is not for the windos media player embed?!
code base is [activex.microsoft.com...]

and not apple...etc.
