Thanks in advance

Joni

p.s. Its not for pornographic purposes. seriously.

hi jon well first of all you need the clip can get this by using camera phone,webcam,digital camera,camcorder, long as you can conect it to the computer and you want it to play on click not to sure about this i think you just set the button to the file name im not sure if this open it and play it or give you a option to save it you will have to take a look hope this helps abit

you can do this with quicktime or windows media player........

you would just embed the file normally only setting "controller" to true (adding the 16 pixels to the height for quick time not sure of the windows media height, im sure you can google it) and then setting "autoplay" to false.....

I could better help you if you let me know what file type the movie is i.e. .wmv, .avi, .mpg, .mov, etc...

Its mpg format, and when u say embed do you mean have a window. I dont understand, sorry mate. Ill research more into this area so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

ok this will embed the file and play it on a windows media player upon the end user pressing the play button

   <!-- begin embedded WindowsMedia file... -->
         <object id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="285" 
         classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95' 
         codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701'
         standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...' type='application/x-oleobject'>
         <param name='fileName' value="http://servername/path/to/media.file">
         <param name='animationatStart' value='true'>
         <param name='transparentatStart' value='true'>
         <param name='autoStart' value="false">
         <param name='showControls' value="true">
         <param name='loop' value="false">
         <embed type='application/x-mplayer2'
           pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/'
           id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1' 
           bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1' 
           showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='-1' videoborder3d='-1' width="320" height="285"
           src="http://servername/path/to/media.file" autostart="false" designtimesp='5311' loop="false">
         </embed>
         </object>
   <!-- ...end embedded WindowsMedia file -->

You are going to want to change the file path and the height/width to fit your needs.....make sure to do this in both places each is shown.....

and if you want it to launch an external player use this

   <!-- begin link to launch external media player... -->
          <a href="http://servername/path/to/media.file" style='font-size: 85%;' target='_blank'>Launch in external player
   </a><!-- ...end link to launch external media player... -->

again you are going to wnt to change the file path ("http://servername/path/to/media.file") and where it says "Launch in external player" you can type whatever you want.....

hope this all helps...let me know if you are having trouble
