Help Wanted
I need help. I've been trying to upload a movie to my site. I was getting file too big errors so i set out to make a smaller version of the file. then I got one small enough to upload and not look like complete crap and it wont play. This is my first ever Flash effort and although I figured out the basics of how to do what I want, getting it out for the rest of you to laugh at and ridicule see is proving a challenge. Did I mention I don't have manuals and the online help really sucks?
Anyway, here is the link for the file I was able to upload.
download file
In the mean time, I'll keep trying.
UPDATE: Nick was kind enough to grant me temporary access to load the bigger file onto a server of his. He also helped me to figure out how to FTP to my site on our server. The problem is two people have already commented that they cannot play the .mov file so I FTP's a few other formats to nomayo.mu.nu. I can see the files, and even download them, the problem is, I don't seem to be able to link to them. Here's the html I think should work but doesn't:
<a href="http://nomayo.mu.nu//waffle.avi">link</a>
Is it me? or is the whole internet confused?

What are you using to upload it?

I was using the upload function on the blog entry web page.

Do you have WS FTP or CuteFTP or such on your computer?

When you figure out how to upload the movie, do you have one in .mpg? 'cause that's all I seem to able to play in both Real Player and Windows Media Player. I tried to find a way to play other types but they either wouldn't work, were too much work to bother with, or they cost money. I forget which.

You've got a double // before the file name, Stephen. I think that may be what's causing the problem? It should just be a /.
