I can use the markers and script commands to trigger HTML
in a different frame but how do I use links in one frame
to make a video playing in another frame to jump to
different markers or timecodes?

Thanks,
Doug

I think you're going to need to write some javascript to do this.

All it has to do is to pass the marker name or timecode to the
embedded player object. To do this, you need to be comfortable with
cross-frame scripting or to use javascript which is global for your
frameset. www.irt.org has lots of tutorials on this, so I won't
duplicate their work. You might need the following though :

Lets assume you called the media player's object ID 'MediaPlayer'

function setNewMarker(whichMarker) {
if (isNaN(parseInt(whichMarker)) {
alert("Markers may only be numeric");
return false;
}
var media=document.getElementById("MediaPlayer");
media.controls.currentMarker=whichMarker;
}

function setNewPlayerPosition(whichPosition) {
if(isNaN(parseInt(whichPosition)) {
alert("Position must be in milliseconds");
return false;
}
var media=document.getElementById("MediaPlayer");
media.controls.currentPosition=whichPosition;
}

So now, as the action of the links in the 'other' frame, you need to
call the javascript functions available to the frame with media player
in it. I'll leave this as an exercise for you, shall I ;-))

Hope that helps,
Cheers - Neil

Thanks for this. It gives me a good path to start
experimenting with.

Cool.

Did you spot the missing end-bracket on both lines
if (isNaN(parseInt(whichMarker)) ?
