Embedded player not understanding commands |
|
|
If you take a look at
http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/images/tabbedVideo/video1/index.html
in IE on a PC, you will see that there are 5 videos, each of which plays
in turn, along with its captions, when you click the appropriate tab.
If you play it on anything else, you get various errors. I am trying to
figure out how to get the embedded players to work the way the ActiveX
version does. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Take a look at the source to see how I've put it together - I created a
javascript function, which runs upon clicking any tab, which will show or
hide the correct layers, and start and stop the correct players.
Thanks,
Ellen

Well you can't.... There is no Active-X support on MacOS X (or 9). It's no
entirely true actually, there is *some* in IE, but nothing you'd need.
Active-X is Windows-centric (and I even wonder if browsers other that IE can
use them).

Hi, thanks very much for your reply!
I did kind of understand that about ActiveX and the mac. However I believe
there is something else at work here -
The two errors I am getting are
On loading the page I get 2 "The playlist format is not supported" errors.
On clicking on any one of the tabs in the javascript console in Netscape I
get:
Error: document.getElementById(deselectedPlayer).controls has no properties
Line: 15
The first error (The playlist format...) would make more sense to me if it
gave me 5 of them, but it only gives me 2 alerts on that one.
The second error seems to me may have something to do with the way I am
calling the Player - perhaps Netscape requires quotes or something, or
doesn't like the way I did the function and variables?
Thanks again,
Ellen

That's indeed something else. It's usually a malformed .asx or an .asx
file that WMP doesn't quite understand. The workaround is usually to
download the .asx, edit it and use the mms:// link that's in there
directly in WMP itself.

That's the part that I fear is IE-specific. The way the player is called
cannot be properly dealt with by other players (only a guess of course).
