Hi All,

I've inserted and windows media object into a web page, it looks and works
well. The object id is objMediaPlayer

I'd like to be able to display the status of this object in normal text
below the object, but not using the media player status bar (as that's not
what I want as I would like more control over the style).

Can anyone help me do this please? I've been trying for days looking on the
internet, but haven't found anything yet. But I have seen it working on
www.high.tv but haven't been able to see how they did it.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Rich

Well, the "Status" changes aren't available for media player 7 (though
the status strng *is*), so I would use playStateChange to be backward
compatible. Anyway : try this -

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript1.2">
// var WMP7=new Object();
var WMP9=new Object();
var display=new Object();

function setPlayerID() {
WMP9=document.getElementById("MediaPlayer");
WMP9.attachEvent("StatusChange",setPlayerStatus);
// WMP7.attachEvent("PlayStateChange",setPlayerStatus);
}
function setPlayerStatus() {
display=document.getElementById("statusdisplay");
display.innerText=WMP9.status;
// display.innerText=WMP7.status;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="setPlayerID()">

<div id="statusdisplay">Default display text...</div>
<!-- Your media player here -->

</body>

Yes, you embedded with the older version 6.4 media player object
model. Although it may work, it's not guaranteed to, in particular,
the event model is changed. Use this embedding code instead :

<object id="MediaPlayer"
classid="clsid:6bf52a52-394a-11d3-b153-00c04f79faa6"
type="video/x-ms-wma" width="438" height="329">
<param name="autostart" value="false" />
<param name="stretchtofit" value="true" />
<param name="url" value="my url here" />
<param name="uimode" value="mini" />
<param name="windowlessvideo" value="true" />
<!--[if !IE]> <-->
<object id="MediaPlayer2" type="video/x-ms-wma" width="438"
height="329" data="my url here">
<param name="filename" value="my url here" />
<param name="showcontrols" value="0" />
<param name="animationatstart" value="0" />
