Right, but that's a still image, a screenshot. Above that is a link labeled "go to live camera" - when you click on that, do you see live motion video? What I see is mplayer-plugin starting, then buffering, then a blue rectangle. The "live camera" link is what goes to the .asx, which is what the OP was asking about. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging ]
