Launching external files

Well, this is getting too complicated for me. First, let me say that I cheated and solved the problem, manually creating the External Files folder inside the story_content folder, and placed the image there, and it works. It works only when viewing it online, it does not work off my hard drive.

Second, the project belongs to an online course delivered in Desire2Learn. So, after publishing the project locally, I upload it, along with the html page where the it goes, to the server. By the way, when I say publish, I mean locally, I select the web option and save it to a folder in my hard drive, then zip it and upload it. Is that not the way to do it? I've been using that way for months and it works. I use an <iframe> tag within my html page.

Third, I noticed a warning in the tutorial you indicated, where it recommends to publish to a local hard drive, not a network drive. I wasn't doing that, I was publishing to a network drive, not my desktop computer's hard drive (that's what we are told to do). But I just tried publishing to the local hard drive and it does not work either.

Finally, I don't know what the .story file is, I don't see it. I see a story.html file and a story.swf file.
