After signing up for a Media Account, we will create a directory in your Web root called "media".  This directory is where you will place your Media content files (.asf files). For every .asf file you create, you will also need to create a corresponding .asx file.
The .asx file is just a text file with the following line's of code:

<asx version = "3.0">
<title><title>
<entry>
<ref href = "mms://SPIDER7.spiderlink.com/yourcompany_media/yourfile.asf"/>
< /entry>
</asx >

(where yourfile.asf is the Media content file you've created)

This .asx file needs to be given the same name as your .asf files.  You will then need to direct your visitors to the following URL:

http://www.yourcompany.com/yourcompany_media/yourfile.asx

Note:  You need to use the "/yourcompany_media" virtual directory in order for your Media content to stream properly.  Your Media content will not stream if you use /media instead of /yourcompany_media.
