I have a website where users can download a Word document. In that document I want to create a link to a streaming flash movie, so that when a user downloads the Word document, they can click the link and the movie plays.
Currently I do this by creating an html file on my server that has the flash swf file embedded into it, and this swf plays the flv from a streaming server. However, it seems that Word only gives primitive control over the hyperlink so that it opens in a full window, with title bar, etc.
I would like the movie to open up in a small window with no title bar, scroll bars, etc.
I have tried (on my local machine) linking the Word file link to a local copy of the swf and this seems to work (although I have to answer "yes" to the warning about the dangers of downloading an swf file over the internet.) However, when I upload the swf file to my webserver and have the Word document try to link to it, it tries to open some kind of shockwave file and eventually fails.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be appreacited. Thanks. Mark
