Getting podcast flash movie to work in MHT file

Question

Hi, I've got an MHT file from Adobe Contribute. I'm trying to get a flash file working in the MHT doc. It's a podcast so it shows the player then pulls the mp3 file, its not one file.

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>    
var so = new SWFObject("mp3player.swf", "mp3player1", "225", "175", "7", "#CCCCCC");
so.addVariable("file", escape("2006-11-13.mp3"));
so.useExpressInstall('expressinstall.swf');

So I can't just import the file, it works with javascript to make it show up. How can I get this to work in the MHT file? The code snippet works in a regular HTML file but when I put it in the MHT file, it just comes up blank. Maybe the MHT doesn't read the js?

Thanks!

Flash and javascript can be embedded into MHT files because MHT is a container format, like zip.

Try using full urls for "mp3player.swf" and "2006-11-13.mp3". Relative urls are resolved using the Content-Location header or the Base html tag. Adobe Contribute may have altered either one to point to itself.

You can open and edit a MHT file in a text editor.
