Erik,

I checked the aam file and it hasn't written any of the problem wmvs. I see
the lines for the wmv's that did publish properly, but the ones that are giving
me the warning are not in the aam file at all.

I tried moving these videos to the root of my folder so they are in the same
folder as my a7p file, but it still didn't find those videos.

I added FileLocation^"Media" to my search path and it still cannot find these
videos. I am about ready to throw this file out the window. I cannot figure
out what could possibly be causing this issue on just some of the videos. They
are all wmv files and are all within the media folder. The only thing that I
am thinking of trying is creating a subfolder within the Media folder b/c the
majority of the videos that work are in Media/Cas_Videos or a path like that,
where it seems that the majority of the videos that don't work are just in
Media.

The .aam file is one of the files published by the OBP process. You can
open that with any text editor (notepad is likely best) and edit. It
couldn't hurt to look at that and see if it's referencing the movie
files properly (location and name), but I don't think it's the problem now.

For some reason, your file seems to be looking for and trying to play
MPG files instead of the WMV files specified in the movie icon. That's
very weird - especially since they play properly during authoring. I've
never seen that before.

Since the published file can't find the movies, it's looking in some
default locations then ultimately asking where, and seems to be
suggesting the Macromedia folder. So it's not picking up the location of
these movies when published. I think there's something funky with the
way your movie icons are linked to the movies, especially considering
the odd broken/not broken thing you mentioned earlier.

One thing you could try is in Modify > File > Properties > Interaction >
Search Path - include the name of the folder where you movies are
located. I think such folders have to have quotes, but not sure. Maybe try
FileLocation^"MyMovieFolder"

Where are these movies? In a subfolder? Maybe just try moving them to
the same location as the published file? I believe that's one of the
default search locations so maybe the published file will find
them...but that's not a real solution for web-packaged.

Does the file work properly when packaged as an .exe?
