Show Path of an Binary File

Hello at all.

I have a difficult problem with showing the path of an binary
file in my result-page.

The authors have to include a Flash-Movie into their articles.
My problem is to show the complete URI of that movie in the
Object's Param-Tag:

<object ... >
<param name="movie" value="...">
...</object>

I tried this:
[I've copied it from the ezbinaryfile.tpl and modified it]

...
<param name="movie" value={let attribute=$node.data_map.animation:item}{$attribute.content.filepath|ezroot}{/let}">
...

I moved:
{$attribute.content.filepath|ezroot}
to an external template [binaryfile_uri.tpl] and included it that way:
{node_view_gui view=binaryfile_uri content_node=$node.data_map.animation:item}

But in both cases this won't work:
the returned path is not valid.

Have anyone an idea?

Thanks.

PS: Sorry for my bad english. :)

You cannot use the :item phrace inside let. :item is for loop sections. You already have the node, so maybe this will work instead (I have not tried it myself).
<param name="movie" value={$node.data_map.animation.content.filepath|ezroot}">

(It looks to me like you should read the template tutorials and the Wiki section of templates.)

Hello. Thanks for answering.

So, before I posted here I've tried this too.
But it just don't work correctly.

The URI is right: if I open it in the Browser
it redirects(?!) me to the File and I could
download it. But the Flash-Movie cannot use
the URI.

I want the real URI of that file.

I'll read the tutorials now.

Thanks, Bye.

Thomas: have you looked into the media datatype? This is designed to show flash, quicktime, real player or windows media movies.

I think this datatype will save you some time if you want to use flash with eZ publish.
