Hello everyone...

I'm looking to post some new fractal animations I've done on my website. I would like to do this in Quicktime format, I would like the movie to come up in a separate html page that frames the movie.

Anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to do this? Should I just place a link to the .mov and target it to a new blank window? I'm not looking for someone to write me some code, but maybe let me know the perferred web layout program (Frontpage, Dreamweaver, etc) that should be used to do this. I would also like the player, when loaded, to default to movie loop.

Thanks,

I have not done much work with Quicktime and the net. I tend to use .ram files which streams realmedia content.

Please do not use Frontpage, I am saying this on behalf of all of the html coders out there, it is not a very good html editor, I would recommend using Dreamweaver.

ehh every frontpage version except 2003 i dont like.but either way u are correct.i would choose a link to the .mov and open it up in a new window and set the window size to a bit bigger than the .mov frame size so its a small window and does not cover up the rest of your webpage.

A easy and more configurable way to get a window to open to a size would be to use javascript. But it is your choice.

Dreamweaver has a really easy way to use popups

1.Select ur link and make sure it says ' javascript:; 'in the link box to start with
2.Press F9 to open the tag mini-window thingie
3.On the behavoirs tab click the add sign dropdown meny and select open browser window
4.Enter the info and click ok
5.check it is onClick and not onLoad in the list

i use this in Dreamweaver MX 2004, Enjoy

Keep it simple. Place a link to the .mov and target it to a new blank window. You can put the .mov inside a table with the width of your choice and maybe with a black background. That would make the .mov more vivid. As for defaulting the movie for loop, set that up before you link and insert the .mov in the new target frame.

I use FrontPage 2003

The code for wat u want it for ur html is

Code:

<object width="240" height="196" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"> <param name="src" value="FILENAME.mov"> <param name="controller" value="true"> <param name="autoplay" value="false"> <embed src="FILENAME.mov" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" width="240" height="196" autoplay="false" controller="true"> </embed> </object>

Good luck
