Set WM embeded object background colour? |
|
|
Hi,
I have a sittuation where my code sets a object height and width and a
streaming (real-time) movie is loaded into it.
If the source movie is smaller than the area i set the movie plays but with
a black border/background. I'd like it to be white, or a speciafiable
colour.
Is there a property or param that I can set to colour the object background
similar to apples 'background=#??????' property for QT objects?
Cheers,
Hutch

You could try starting with the player.windowlessVideo="true" setting
- though this only works for windows XP versions of media player, it
might allow you to overlay with a positioned DIV using transparency.
There used to be param tags to do this with the player version 6.4 but
not since, as far as I can tell. Back to the hacky workarounds ;-)

Yea, I suppose i'll have to leave it. This system needs to work on all OS's
that can handle WMP 9.
Why would MS drop support for something this simple?
Thanks for your reply though.
