Moving a Google Earth file with a Unitedstreaming Video (Converted to SWF)

This is a very complicated question...

First, I have saved a .KMZ Google Earth file with a Placemark that includes an HTML code for Embedding a Converted Unitedstreaming Video (.wmv to .swf).  However, I originally created this file in a folder on my laptop.  The code searches for the video on my computer.  When I move the file to my flash drive, CD-R, etc. the HTML code is still searching for the original C: video.  Does anyone know how to change the HTML code so that when I move the folder from my computer to my flash drive (or any other place for that matter) the code will still find the video.  I do not want to have to go in and change the code everytime I move the folder around on my computer or if I save it to my flash. 

The code I am using for the Placemark is:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"

width="637" height="421" id="game" align="">

<param name=movie value="file:///C:\Documents and Settings\gmarshburn\Desktop\ABC Sounds Videos\possummagic.swf">

<param name=quality value=high>

<param name=bgcolor value=#FFFFFF>

<embed src="file:///C:\Documents and Settings\gmarshburn\Desktop\ABC Sounds Videos\possummagic.swf " quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF width="637" height="421" align=""

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">

</embed>

</object> 

 

Any help that anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Gretchen, Have you tried

Gretchen,

Have you tried embedding the video into a wiki instead of your computer? I use wikispaces.com which is free for educators and  the site supports embedding HTML code.It can aslso be viewed from any computer so students may review the video from home if you would like.

Sincerely,

The actual lesson entails a Mimio lesson that connects to a Google Earth trip with the Unitedstreaming Video embedded.  Thank you for the idea!  I will see if that can work.  The only problem I might have is that our school district blocks most Wiki sites...

Try this... I use to write

Try this... I use to write HTML a few years ago.  I wonder if this works in Google Earth.  Take your line:

"

<embed src="file:///C:\Documents and
Settings\gmarshburn\Desktop\ABC Sounds Videos\possummagic.swf "
quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF width="637" height="421" align=""

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">"

 

change it to:

<embed src="possummagic.swf" quality= etc.>

 

I'm honestly not sure if it will work.  I haven't tried linking to a static file.  But that's how coding from old html created web pages use to work.

you must include the correct

you must include the correct location of your video- because your embed code specifies the C drive, that is where it will search- suggest you create a folder with your video(s) inside that you can copy from location to location- for a flash drive that loads as drive "E" for example, this may depend on networks and number of drives you can see-

<embed src="file:///E:\Your new folder\ABC Sounds Videos\possummagic.swf "
quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF width="637" height="421" align=""

etc- this way since you aren't embedding video that is hosted on the web, you can port it and adjust depending on how your flash drive is picked up on the local machine-You change the drive letter and path only up to your clips name-

Suggest you find somewhere to host your videos - and try to get away from relying on Documents and Settings directory as well.

Hope this helps
