Greetings:
You should be running Windows 2000 and Media Player 9 and IE6 to observe
this behavior.
Perhaps this has something to do with Network security in Win2k or the
security settings in IE. When I try
to access an asx file linked to a button it DOESN'T OPEN the file. Instead
IE opens a page in from the microsoft website for Windows Media help.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/support/mperr.asp?prd=Windows&
spb=MediaPlayer&pver=9.0.0.2980&os=WinNT&over=5.0.2195&olcid=0x409&clcid=0x4
09&id=C00D1198
Next I right-click the button, choose 'Save Target As...' and save the
linked file
to my Desktop. When I double-click the saved file on my Desktop, it OPENS
NORMALLY, e.g. opens media player and connects to the stream.
Try it and see if you can figure out what is happening. Why is it that the
asx file doesn't work when linked to the button but the same asx file works
from your desktop (hard disk). What security feature is this?
Go to http://www.smoothisland.com/bmainpage.php . You can use 'demo' and
'demo' as your user id and password.
Enter the user id and password, then click the sign-in button. Next you
will see a red button. This is the button linked to the asx file. Click the
red button. Observe what happens (some people can connect to the stream,
others are redirected to Windows error page). Next, place your mouse over
the red
button, right-click and choose 'Save Target As...' and save the linked file
to your desktop (your hard disk). Next, double-click the saved file on your
desktop. Now you can connect to the stream.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening. Two types of behavior from
one file. I need an explanation and a fix (as opposed to a workaround). The
button should work correctly when clicked. That is, the button should follow
the instructions contained in the asx file when clicked.
Any help is appreciated.
