Try this instead of the <img> tag.

Code:

&#60;embed name=&#39;RAOCXplayer&#39; src=&#39;cyprus.wmv&#39; type=&#39;application/x-mplayer2&#39; width=&#39;*&#39; height=&#39;*&#39; ShowStatusBar=&#39;0&#39; loop=&#39;false&#39; DisplaySize=&#39;0&#39; pluginspage=&#39;http&#58;//www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/&#39;&#62;&#60;/embed&#62;

Replace the asterisks with actual numbers.

You would have to put in the Folder name you have the movie file in. Either that or not have it in a folder.

could it still be the directory if its working off of my computer??? like wen i open it from my documents it runs fine but its only wen i upload it to the web it dnt work...

it could be that you have the case wrong and the server your using is case sensitive. to test the theory you type the exact url in your web browser. Under both ie and firefox you should get the microsoft media player starting and it should buffer/play it.

I suspect that you have malformed your url somehow, most prob its a case issue.
