I've been trying to get a hidden MediaPlayer 9 window to play a stream from
a webpage...
So far I have managed to embed a hidden MP9 for both Netscape & IE

My problem lies with the javascript to control MP9, it doesn't work - lol
Buttons on my page use on onClick event to call a javascript function.

The functions do "mediaPlayer.stop()" and the MP9 object is named
mediaPlayer
I have tried the following:
* mediaPlayer.stop()
* mediaPlayer.controls.stop()
* document.mediaPlayer.stop()
* document.mediaPlayer.controls.stop()

None seem to work and the MSDN, etc dont seem to be of any help as they
suggest this too.
Anyone got working play/stop buttons using onClick events or did MS drop
support for that in MP9 ? :(

Here's my code so far (test.html) :

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Doc JavaScript's Streaming Media JukeBox</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">
var streams = new Array();
streams[0] = new
makeStream("http://www.energydanceradio.com/jamz/wmmedia.asx", "R&B");
streams[1] = new
makeStream("http://www.ministryofsound.com/asx/radio/mosradio.asx",
"Ministry of sound");
streams[2] = new makeStream("http://www.bnetradio.com/asx/bnet-hs.asx",
"Classic rock");

function makeStream(url, name) {
this.url = url;
this.name = name;
}

function change() {
var list = document.playerCtrl.streams;
var streamURL = list.options[list.selectedIndex].value;
document.mediaPlayer.stop();
document.playerCtrl.playOrPause.value = " Pause ";
document.mediaPlayer.fileName = streamURL;
}

function stop() {
document.mediaPlayer.stop();
}

function play() {
document.mediaPlayer.play();
}

</SCRIPT>
