Initial black object |
|
|
I have the windows media player object on my web form. When the form loads
up you see the black media object for a second or 2 before the video actually
kicks in. I would like to either mask or not show this ugly black object
until the video actually starts playing because the video has the same
background as my site.
I have thougth about the following but haven't had any success yet.
1. Set the UiMode to Invisible & after the page loads on a mouse move event
I turn the UiMode to none... still doesn't work though maybe it's because i'm
putting the event in the form tag.
2. Set the UiMode to Invisible & in the .asx file set the UiMode to None...
haven't figured this one out yet but thought it could be an option.
3. Possiblity of setting a background color of the object?
Any & all recomendations would be apreciated.
Steve.

I'd overlay an image using CSS positioning, and set it to either hide
(display="none") or fade (filter:alpha(opacity%)) depending on what
you prefer for an effect.
I really should get round to doing a tutorial website on this soon as
it's a frequently requested effect. Here's one I did earlier :

Sure thing, just dig away, grab the code and use it on your local
system so you can experiment with it without waiting for all 12 meg of
video to load ;-)
