From: mllnprod on 11 Feb 2006 00:35 I want to know how I can insert a streaming quicktime window without using a browser window. Does anyone know how to do this? Example, go to www.cpgtv.com. After it loads rollover on "Broadcast / Non Broadcast". Under "Work" there is are choices for what format. Click "Demo Reel - Quicktime High". This is what I want. Very simple but can't figure out how to do this. There is nothing but just the Quicktime. Thanks for your help...Mike

Thanks for your help...Mike It's simply a Javascript browser window. In DW you can create one of these using the 'open browser window' behavior (or a third party equivalent), however, the site above is done entirely in Flash, which means having to insert the Javascript code to open the new window manually within the 'getURL...' actionScript code for the button. This is a Flash rather than a DW topic, however, if you're not doing your site in Flash, you can just use the DW behaviour. You CAN link directly to a .mov (Quicktime) file without creating an HTML container page for it. The problem with the 'open browser window' behavior (or JS handcoding equivalent) is that some pop-up blockers are also blocking windows triggered by 'onClick' events, I saw that happen yesterday on a friend's computer, which had all the free toolbars installed (Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc.) Each & everyone of them was blocking my 'onClick' windows, some of them containing only a QT movie like the example above. You may need to tell your visitors how to get around this problem. Just when you thought web design was getting easier.. ;-( ;-(

Well I tried it and I was able to get just the player and it controls but I still have another browser window in the background that I can't get rid of. I am using DW and not flash. The "Open Browser Window" is pretty generic so all I entered was the size and the URL of the media. Any ideas? |
