[Helpers] File renaming

[Sachiko M]

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling good.

It would help me moving father ahead if you could answer a couple of
question for now. Rest of the email you can read through whenever
you have time. Thanks.

Did you want me to rename the files without underscore?
00filename.html
00filename_p.html
00filename_q.html
00filename_a.htm
00filename.ram

Does ram file needs to be rename, too?

I hope you are feeling better.

Sachiko

I did used underscore for renaming, but I was wating for you to decide
which format you like, so that if you like with underscore then I
can just keep what I have. No need to rename again.

So, do you like without underscore? "00filename.html"

No worries. I'm downloading them right now.

rtsp://www.fireserpent.rackspeed.net/video/14matgod.smi
rtsp://www.fireserpent.rackspeed.net/video/1grnd.smi

These are the link to the file. Are these correct path?

I have notice there were some of above mixed up code and fix them.
I forgot to take a note of it. I'll check again to make sure I have
fixed all.

As far as I remember, Flash is good for vector base images which is
something like a Adobe Illustrator will create. If you are using video
which is pixcel images then flash doesn't do much directly with the
images but I think you can create buttons for play and stop and stuff
load the movie inside. I might have been mixed up with Macromedia
Director, though..... I'm gonna have to look in and see how current
Flash works

I'm not sure if I need the old version mailed to. If I can reach them
through the server then there is no need.

There were files called

sexenergyB.ram

 Add this to todo list and I'll leave this for now.

Nop. What you have now is pretty common way of oranizing.

I would keep the way it is now.

Tantra --  images
           |-- audio
           |-- poplink
