I'm trying to link to a Shockwave (Director) movie. I've used the full path to the file (i.e. including the MySource file number) but I can't get it to work in Preview or when I view the Live page, any ideas what I might be doing wrong.
It didn't work when the movie and page were in "Under Construction" mode and it also didn't work when I changed everything to "Live" mode.
Curiously, the movie does load and work correctly in the MySource edit environment.
I did exactly the same thing to a Flash movie and it worked. First I uploaded the movie (to get the file number), then I changed the link in the HTML file which I uploaded as a File asset. It is to this file that I link from any other pages.
If you enter the URL to the Director movie into your browser, does it load? The __data URL is only valid when the file is both Live and has Public Read Permission applied, so I'd suggest checking the permissions as well.

Yes, I entered the direct URL (__data/assets/file/…) to the Director movie (bypassing everything else like the web page and the preloader) and it did load. This would suggest it is Live and that I have the permissions correct.
