Step 3. Absolute Linking / Relative Linking
The codebase statement that tells the applet the lo

<codebase="http://you

cation of the Clipstream 'player' applet must be absolute linked in an HTML mail. Example:rdomain.com/folderlocationofvideoclipstream.zip/" archive="videoclipstream.zip">

All other elements in the applet can be relative linked relative to the codebase URL.Example:

<param name="VideoTitleImageEndURL" value="images/defaultfirstimage.jpg">

<param name="VideoURL1" value="500 K,510,videos/thevideofile.vcs">

Keep in mind that all the relative-linked files must be on the same domain as the videoclipstream.zip player.

Non-Java images
Except for the codebase statement the only other element that must be absolute linked is the non-Java graphic that you optionally can include in the applet that shows up if the recipient does not have Java enabled in their email client. Example:

<a href="http://www.pagenonjavarecipientissentto.com/index.html><img src="nonjavaimage.jpg"></a>

And of course any page you want to send the recipient to in any email should be absolute linked

Using Caching servers such as Akamai
If you use a caching server system such as Akamai (which is advisable if you are mailing throughout the world or a large country), akamaize or cache everything in your HTML mail including the applet links above and include the new cached server links in your applet code. However, you will need a separate code key for the cache server. Contact the sales department to arrange either a one-time code key or a permanent one if you forsee future mailings using a cache server.

CodeKey issues
Once the email has been sent, changing the page on the server will have no effect. (test, test, test!) We recommend taking advantage of the KeyURL parameter in the case that you will need to update your codekey. This way, an html email that has been saved for a long period of time will not fail due to an invalid code key.
