HTML - Video Quirk And <embed> Question

I have been using the script below to make it so that a random image is displayed every time the page is refreshed or accessed. It has worked very well, but what i am wondering is does anyone know how to make this code adapt to embedding video urls, so a random video would be displayed from the list whenever the site was accessed or reloaded? I have tried several variations without luck. I am not really a coder so most of what i do is trial by error, but i was hoping someone else might be able to point me in the right direction. Thank you!

Here is the code i am using for the random image generator:


HTML Code:

<SCRIPT language="Javascript"><!--
   function image() { };
   image = new image();
   number = 0;
   // imageArray
   image[number++] = "<img src='First Image url' border='0'>"
   image[number++] = "<img src='Second Image url' border='0'>"
   
   increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number);  document.write(image[increment]);
   //-->
   </SCRIPT>

I am trying to grab a video from an html page. Its not a normal piece of embed code that would be used with youtube. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

I've done alot of seaching and haven't found to many articles on this. I would like to embed a youtube video on my site, but don't want to play the audio that goes with it.

I tried adding &volume=0 after the tag, but this doesn't work. Any ideas!! Much thanks in advanced! here's the code used:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" height="540" width="650">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aKuFww3ljM&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&loop=1&autoplay=1&volume=0" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aKuFww3ljM&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&loop=1&autoplay=1&volume=0" height="540" width="650" wmode="transparent" />
</object>

Hello,

I have a client were working with. He uses myspace. He wants a youtube video to autoplay from youtube. He wants it to look sleek and doesn't want the controls buttons to show. I've read this is possible but can't get the div code right. It's an HD video and it's height="480" width="720".

We came across this url: http://www.createblog.com/myspace-sc...eo-top_bottom/

and We found this code as an example it says:
Where it says YOUTUBE URL HERE insert your youtube embed url, not the url of the YouTube page.

Change the first 380 and the 230 to change the video's size and the -90 to position the video.

****
<div style="width:380px; height:230px; overflow:hidden!important; text-align:center;"><br />

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="410" width="380" style="position:relative; top: -90 px;" data=" YOUTUBE URL HERE ">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="YOUTUBE URL HERE" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>

</div>

This is our code were tried but it is not working? can you please help us. Thank you in advanced.

Our code we tried:

<div style="width: 720 px; height: 480 px; overflow:hidden!important; text-align:center;"><br />

Hi folks,

I have a simple question using the <embed> tag.

My code is as follows:

<embed width='100%' height='100%' src='../media/movies/intro.wmv' autostart=true>

The movie plays just fine but when the browser loads it seems to load the first frame of the video and superimposes the actual video over that. However, if I go to another tab or minimize the browser then return to the screen the movie looks fine. I'm still learning about this stuff so I'm not sure if there is a buffer/cache issue or not.

Can someone please give me some idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

Hey! I'm new. Like the forums!

I have an odd question. I have a profile on another website. There's a section called 'About Me' and I can fill it with information about myself (it supports html). But the problem is that there is a 5000 character limit and I well exceeded that. Is there a website that would allow me to type my profile information and then give me some html code and wherever i would paste the code i would get my profile information?

Thanks!

Hey all,

Is it possible to shut down video screen automatically after displaying the video?

I mean, after video is over, is it possible to hide the video screen?

( I tried to use embed tag...
<embed src="myVideo" autostart="true" /> ??)

Thanks,
Doron

For some reason this code won't work. The black window shows up with controls but the video doesn't play. The filename and directory are correct.

Hi, i know that iframe isnt xhtml compatible, what do i use instead? is it the embed tags?

If so, how do i use them? i take it i dont just replace the word iframe with embed?


Thanks!

I hope this is the correct forum. I have a large swf file that until some of this loads all the user sees is a blank box on the page. What I would like to do is show a gif or jpg there that is small enough to show the control bars of the swf file so the user can see something is going on and then when enough loads they can push play and see the video not the gif.

I wanted to use preloaders but my client says no they want a static gif above the player controls. I have seen this done on other sites but I cannot figure this out. I code in the image with a div tag above the swf embed code using transparent in the embed code and all I see is a blank screen until the movie has downloaded and my controls are gone when it loads.

So I am wondering do I need a transparent title page in the swf so it will show the image or what?

Code where image will go:
(<div id="flashcontent">
This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
</div>
)

Here is my embed code:

(<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("capture3.swf", "mymovie", "640", "480", "8", "#336699");
so.addParam("quality", "low");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addParam("salign", "t");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>)

Thanks!

Why won't it work:

HTML Code:

<object width="300" height="42">
    <param name="src" value="http://platnium.fileave.com/No_More_Memory.mp3">
    <param name="autoplay" value="true">
    <param name="controller" value="true">
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
    <embed src="http://platnium.fileave.com/No_More_Memory.mp3" autostart="true" loop="true" width="300" height="42" controller="true" ></embed>
    </object>

Hi,

Is it possible to embed a quicktime .mov file and not allow the user to download the video?

Thanks for the help,

Does somebody know what is the current stay of the play with <EMBED> and <OBJECT> tags? I can not find a clear information if I need to use both tags, or just one to embed objects into HTML.
