Jason and Jordon, =Thank You= very much for your help and input! I really Appreciate it! I figured there was a way but just wanted to make sure. There is more than one way to get to Rome, I know! I will post as soon as I see which method works best for the situation (It's for a daily news broadcasts that will be posted on line). The server is running php and cold fusion and so I'll check that out.
And Jordan, I figured this would be possible in an xml ( pop up a button that plays a video)...in a player....or points to it brining it into player. -both methods could work I guess so I'll see which will be best to implement. Thanks a lot again! Wendy : ) On 3/8/07 12:35 PM, "Jason Rayles" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Wendy, > > I think the trick is generating the xml dynamically on the server.
