Hello again. Don't try embedded movies. In order to run such movies, your Windows must be flawless, and your Internet connection also must be flawless. - Often Windows is unstable, resulting in minor (and sometimes unseen) crashs. - In Europe, very often the ISP offers an unstable Internet connection, the last time I tried to load GG Genie on Poser Characters, I had to restart the download more than a dozen times. - Also, it's a waste of bandwidth. If I want to see your anim again, I must download it again if it is embedded (or if my Media Player had crashed again). - And last, some persons don't use Windows. Embedded files won't work on Linux, for example. Except if you're planning to support an OS in a crusade against another OS, try to stay compliant with all OSes, shortly said use only widely used protocols (HTTP, FTP, Java,...) Try to put a link like "Download the anim 2.5 MB" link to your .avi (or your .mpg) file. So you could put a thumbnail (the first pic for example). So the user can download it and save it on it's hard disk. You can even put your anim on a FTP site for faster and safer download. If you're upset/afraid/worried by copyrights, simply put a copyright notice. Hoping this can help you. --- Think free, think GPL
