this online computer is seperate from the studio computer where i am attempting to work my way threw the tutorials.

hav'g downloaded&saved to cd all the tutorials it's very frustrat'g to open one up and only the still images are there. all the animations are miss'g.

when i follow a link i either get a page of code(which is not helpful to me) or i find the clip with out any apparent way to save it to cd so that i can open up the layers and compare my attemps.

can any one help?????????????

You downloaded the tutorials but did you download the actual movie files that are embedded?

You are running the pages in a browser locally... web pages may behave in a different way when the aren't online.

heyvern - i,m open'g the tut. in windows internet explorer.

then click'g "page" tab ; and in drop down menu
click'g "save as" to burn to cd


then back on the studio computer (not online) the movie files aren't there.

so back to the online computer open the animation and they aren't readily saveable. one i just opened wants me to first buy Quicktime pro

Fizwigs 1st 11 tut.s for example when i open them on line the animation is there but how can i save it to a disk so i can open it off line on my studio
computer?????

You have to know more about HTML and how the internet works. You save the html but the movie files might be in another location. You would have to look at the code in the html to see where the movie files are stored on the server.

I don't think saving the page will save the embedded movies. there is probably some "extra" code in there linking to those files. Also if you don't have QT pro it won't let you save out the movie files to your hard drive. The only way to do that (and I don't know for sure this will work) is to look at the html source code, find the url for the movie file, copy it out of the source and paste it into your browser address box. This would load the movie "directly" and not embedded in a web page. Then save that page and it should allow you to put the file anywhere you want to.

BUT... the html pages you saved probably won't know where those files are becuase the link is to someplace else.

What it probably happening is you are saving the html and the links to the movies are trying to look on the web. If you aren't connected it won't find them.

This is all speculation.
