Hello,
I have a problem with embedding mediaplayer; the code works in IE, but not in mozilla firefox when I control movie with button - movie starts play when the button is clicked. I have read many posts in forums, but couldn't solve it. I don't want to use inner html, css, etc... I neeed a simple solution. Could anyone help me?
Thank you.
Here is the code:
<body>
<OBJECT
ID="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="160"
HEIGHT="130"
CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="_i.wmv">
<PARAM NAME="autostart" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="showcontrols" VALUE="false">
<embed
ID="player"
WIDTH="160"
HEIGHT="130"
TYPE="application/x-mplayer2"
SRC="_i.wmv"
AUTOSTART="0"
SHOWCONTROLS="0">
</embed>
</OBJECT>


<IMG SRC="rodyti1.bmp" NAME="but"
onMouseOver="document.but.src='rodyti2.bmp'"
onMouseOut="document.but.src='rodyti1.bmp'"
onclick="document.getElementById('player').play()">
</body>

What is your problem? You haven't actually said.

You say the movie starts playing when the button is clicked... but given you have an onclick event on the button that calls the movie's play method, isn't this exactly what should be happening?

something wrong is with getElementById, because when i set autostart=1, the *.wmv movie plays in firefox, but when i use this code with getElementById, nothing happens

even if there are lines:
onclick="document.getElementById('MediaPlayer').play()"
onclick="document.getElementById('player').play()"

it still doesn't work
